Abstract

The energy spectrum of an odd nucléon coupled to a triaxial rotating core has been calculated as a function of the deformation β, the asymmetry γ and the Fermi energy λf. Results are presented in a series of plots with the odd nucleon restricted to a single j-shell and the parameters covering the area which is of most interest for transitional odd-A nuclei in the A = 135 and the A = 190 mass regions. The results apply to unique-parity spectra which are based either on particle or hole states in a. j = 112 shell, but hold also for j = 92 and j = 132. In addition, results on moments and transition probabilities are given. The quasiparticle-rotor Hamiltonian is derived with special emphasis on the particle-hole symmetry. The analytic solution for the even triaxial rotor at γ = 30° is given. Concerning the odd-A spectrum, characteristics which can be tested experimentally are discussed, and a qualitative physical interpretation is given. In particular, band structures in the triaxial region and their approximate classification are pointed out.
