Electromagnetic Transition Strengths in Heavy Nuclei    [PDF]

B. Buck, A. C. Merchant, S. M. Perez
We calculate reduced B(E2) and B(M1) electromagnetic transition strengths
within and between K-bands in support of a recently proposed model for the
structure of heavy nuclei. Previously, only spectra and a rough indication of
the largest B(E2) strengths were reported. The present more detailed
calculations should aid the experimental identification of the predicted $0^+$,
$1^+$ and $2^+$ bands and, in particular, act to confirm or refute the
suggestion that the model $0^+$ and $2^+$ bands correspond to the well known
and widespread beta and gamma bands. Furthermore they pinpoint transitions
which can indicate the presence of a so far elusive $1^+$ band by feeding
relatively strongly into or out of it. Some of these transitions may already
have been measured in $^{230}$Th, $^{232}$Th and $^{238}$U.
