Abstract

The parameters a and δeff appearing in the back-shifted Fermi gas model are determined for about 3000 nuclei on the basis of modern estimated experimental data and the proposed systematics. For 272 of these nuclei, the parameters are deduced from experimental data on the cumulative numbers of low-lying levels and on mean spacings between S-wave neutron resonances at the neutron binding energy in the nuclei. For 952 nuclei, the parameter δeff is calculated by using the cumulative numbers of low-lying levels and values of the parameter a that were obtained via an interpolation from the points corresponding to the aforementioned 272 nuclei. For the remaining nuclei, the parameters a and δeff are obtained on the basis of the proposed systematics. An expression is constructed for taking into account the damping of shell effects with increasing excitation energy of nuclei. The results are compared with those from other studies.
