CHANGES IN THE N-P INTERACTION STRENGTHS FOR PD AND CD NUCLEI

Microscopic variational model calculations are presented for available experimental data on the static properties and the transition charge densities of Cd-110,Cd-114 nuclei. The transition charge densities, be ing very sensitive to the neutron-proton (n-p) interaction strength, l ead to fixing of the parameters accurately. It is seen that the magnit ude of the n-p interaction strength decreases from -0.023 to -0.020 Me V b(-4) in going from Pd to Cd nuclei, supporting the idea of the defo rming tendency of the n-p interactions.
