Magnetic Moments of the f–p Shell Nuclei in the Pseudo SU(3) Model

Abstract

The validity of the simplified formula due to Ratna Raju and Hecht for the magnetic moments of the deformed nuclei is tested for the f–p shell nuclei. It is found that even though the contribution coming from the correction term is slightly larger than in the case of heavy deformed nuclei, the formula still gives values which compare favourably with experimental values for those nuclei which show some collective features in this shell.
