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. |
