Investigation of quasi-particle structure of proton-hole indium nuclei

The present work focuses on the successful application of the Projected Shell Model (PSM) in studying the yrast bands of neutron-rich odd-mass 111-119In nuclei. For these isotopes, the band structures have been analyzed in terms of quasi-particles configurations. The phenomenon of rotational alignment and back bending in moment of inertia is also studied in the present work. The intrinsic structure of 111-119In nuclei in the present study has also been described as arising due to an interplay between proton and neutron orbitals belonging to 1- and 3-qp configurations. Besides this, the reduced transition probabilities, B(E2) and B(M1) , are also obtained from the PSM wave functions.
