The effect of the presence of quadrupole pairing on the properties of Kπ = 1+ states in doubly even nuclei

• The influence of a quadrupole pair interaction on Kπ = 1+ states in rare earth nuclei is investigated using the Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation. Comparison of the obtained results with available experimental data indicates a rather weak quadrupole pair interaction in these nuclei. The calculation of the B(M1) strength is extended to higher energies to account for the recently observed higher lying M1-strength. The differential cross section of inelastic electron scattering is calculated within DWBA for lower lying Kπ = 1+ states and is seen to be consistent with the interpretation that the observed states around 3 MeV are of isovector convection current character and have their main M1-strength coming from natural parity proton components.
