Abstract

The plot of RJ (RJ = EJ1+E21+) against R4, J = 6, 8, …, provides a clear picture of the trends of nuclear (quasi)rotational behavior in doubly even nuclei. Plots are presented up to J = 16, based upon recent experimental data. Corresponding curves predicted by various variable moment of inertia (VMI) models are calculated within the framework of Mantri and Sood's formalism and a comparison is made with these (Mallmann) curves. The comparison clearly shows how well various VMI recipes can be fitted to the experimental data and permits a discussion of the contributing microscopic factors.
