Structure of neutron-rich nuclei around A similar or equal to 100

Neutron-rich isotopes of Mo (Z = 42) around A similar or equal to 100 have been investigated within the formalisms of cranked Nilsson Strutinsky and C HFB, to study several interesting features of nuclear structure in this mas s region. The total energy/routhian surfaces have been generated for the is otopes of Mo ranging from A similar or equal to 96 - 112, as a function of deformation (beta(2) and gamma) for ground state and higher angular momentu m states. Results of calculations using two different formalisms have been compared and combined to have a better understanding of the underlying mech anism of shape evolution.
