An improved Nilsson parameter set in the Au-Pt region

Recent data on 185 Au indicate that previously published Nilsson ( kappa , mu ) parameter sets for the Au-Pt-Hg region are not able to reproduce either the bandhead energies for the odd-proton configurations or the single-particle structure of the higher-spin states in 185Au. A new set of ( kappa , mu ) parameters are deduced for the N=5 and N=6 proton shells in order to give better agreement between the calculated and experimental results. The Nilsson single-particle orbits obtained using the new ( kappa , mu ) parameters are compared with the Woods-Saxon results for this region.
