Study of high spin states in neutron deficient ¹³³Sm isotope

The study of neutron deficient nuclei in the mass region A ∼ 130 has been an interesting subject in the nuclear structure physics as this region provides an opportunity to test nuclear models. For the neutron deficient nuclei in this mass region, the proton Fermi surface lies in lower part of the h_11/2 sub-shell, which suggests a proton driving force that could trigger the nucleus towards the collective prolate shape. Therefore, it is of interest to determine the extent to which the present calculations carried out in projected shell model framework can account for the ground state and excited state deformation of ¹³³Sm isotope, which lies in the A∼130 mass region
