Study of V, Mn, and Co isotopes

Nuclei with odd number of protons are studied using the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method. The binding energies, single-particle spectra, quadrupole moments, B(E2) values, and the pickup strengths are calculated. By comparing the results for the neighboring even nuclei one can study the sets of isotones. The nuclei with N=26 (⁴⁸Ti, ⁴⁹V, ⁵⁰Cr, ⁵¹Mn, and ⁵²Fe), N=28 (⁵⁰Ti, ⁵¹V, ⁵²Cr, ⁵³Mn, ⁵⁴Fe, and ⁵⁵Co), and N=30 (⁵³V, ⁵⁴Cr, ⁵⁵Mn, ⁵⁶Fe, and ⁵⁷Co) are studied to understand the effects of the addition of a proton on the deformation, Fermi surface, fluctuations of the proton separation energies, pair separation energies, and the configuration mixing.
