68Ni

Is 68Ni a magic nucleus ? Increase of the 21

+ excitation energy Reduction of the B(E2) value

No pronounced irregularity in the 2-neutron separation energy

Strong 2p-2h component -> excitation of a neutron pair into g9/2 orbital

Major part of the B(E2) strength around 5 MeV

Deformation in 68Ni 68Ni gs is spherical (Gaudefroy et al.,

Phys. Rev. C80 (2009) 064313) Main 01

+ state configuration is 4p-4h Does not generate much

deformation

68Ni: 8p-8h excitations 70Zn: 6p-6h excitations

Huge matrices to diagonalise~(500 106)² to more than (109)²

Several days calculation

Results 68Ni 8p-8h config:

B(E2)down ~ 690 e²fm4

Q2 = -49 e.fm²

β2 ~ 0.32E* ~ 13 MeV

6p-6h config:B(E2)down ~ 190 e²fm4

Less deformation drivingE* ~ 10 MeV

70Zn 6p-6h config:B(E2)down ~ 695 e²fm4

Q2 = -48 e.fm²

β2 ~ 0.32E* ~ 10 MeV

All configurations are spread over many states when configuration mixing is allowed !
