Angular momentum dependence of the nuclear level density parameter

Abstract

Dependence of nuclear level density parameter on the angular momentum and temperature is investigated in a theoretical framework using the statistical theory of hot rotating nuclei. The structural effects are incorporated by including shell correction, shape, and deformation. The nuclei around Z≈50 with an excitation energy range of 30 to 40 MeV are considered. The calculations are in good agreement with the experimentally deduced inverse level density parameter values especially for ¹⁰⁹In, ¹¹³Sb, ¹²²Te, ¹²³I, and ¹²⁷Cs nuclei.
