NUCLEAR STRUCTURE OF 150<font>Sm</font> IN THE DPPQ MODEL AND IBM

The decay pattern of the low lying levels in the shape transitional nucleus 150 Sm is analyzed in terms of the quasi-vibrational and quasi-rotational collective model. The Dynamic Pairing plus quadrupole Model in the microscopic theory of the collective model is employed to predict extensive structure characteristics. The potential energy surface (PES), the spectroscopic factors and the E2, E0 transition rates from the DPPQ model are illustrated. Comparison is made with the predictions in the Interacting Boson Model (IBM-1). A correspondence is demonstrated of the effect of the control parameter in the two models on the calculated nuclear structure. The study of the wave functions of the two spin I = 2 excited states in IBM is carried out. The alternative view of an anharmonic vibrator and a soft rotor is discussed in terms of the E2 transition rates and other structural characteristics.
