   ■Shifts in High-j Single-Particle States Outside Z=50 and N=82


   Abstract:
    The relative spectroscopic factors of low-lying states in Sb isotopes in
    proton transfer were measured recently, confirming that the shifts in energy
    of the lowest 7/2+ and 11/2- states do indeed reflect changes in the energies of
    the proton g7/2 and h11/2 orbitals. These systematic trends in energy with
    neutron excess have recently been attributed to monopole shifts predominantly
    due to the interaction of protons with neutrons filling the h11/2 orbital.
    The interaction has been associated with the tensor component of the
    nucleon-nucleon interaction.
     Outside of the N=82 core, the lowest-lying 13/2+ and 9/2- states show similar
    trends, with an increasing separation with increasing neutron excess.
    Single-neutron transfer experiments indicate that the single-particle strengths
    are more fragmented than for protons outside Z=50. However, the centroids of
    the i13/2 and h9/2 states follow a trend in excitation energy, which is consistent
    with shifts induced by the tensor interaction with protons filling mainly the g7/2 orbit.
