Study of quasiparticle alignments and electromagnetic quantities in neutron-deficient even–even ${}^{110-120}\text{Xe}$ isotopes

The yrast states and quasiparticle alignments in even–even neutron-deficient xenon isotopes are studied in the projected shell model (PSM) framework. A new set of Nilsson parameters are proposed to reproduce the proton alignments in these isotopes. The B(E2) transition probabilities along the yrast line are obtained from the PSM wave functions and compared with the available experimental data. By using the same wave functions, g-factors are also predicted.
