UNIFIED DESCRIPTION OF ODD-MASS INDIUM NUCLEI .1. GENERAL THEORY AND COMPARISON TO IN-113 AND IN-115 LEVELS POPULATED IN DECAY OF SN-113 AND CD-115

We describe the rich variety of nuclear phenomena in the odd-mass indium isotopes by taking into account the coupling of both single-hole and one-particle two-hole configurations (seniority v=1 and v=3) with the quadrupole and octupole vibrations of the underlying core (Sn) nucleus. To fully test the calculations, we have performed detailed spectroscopic studies of the Sn113, Cdm115, and Cdg115 decays. Energy spectra, spectroscopic factors for stripping and pickup reactions, and electromagnetic properties are calculated and compared with the experimental results for In115. We compare our model with earlier calculations for the odd-mass In isotopes and with band-mixing calculations using a deformed basis (Nilsson model) for all odd-mass In isotopes (107≤A≤119). The equivalence of the unified-model description with a rotational interpretation is discussed in some detail.
