Abstract

The concept of
pseudo-mirror nuclei is based on N_πN_ν scheme introduced
as an extension of NpNnscheme. The N_πN_ν scheme
tells us that if two nuclei from different mass region have equal number of
integrated n-p interaction than the experimental observables E(2+), E(4⁺)/E(2⁺)
and B(E2; 2⁺→ 0⁺) are expected to be almost equal,
therefore equal number of n-p interaction build similar level schemes up to
certain spin quantum numbers. Pseudo-mirror nuclei have been introduced for the
first time in the mass regions A ~ 100 and A ~ 130 for Mo, Zr, Nd and Ce
nuclei.  Later, a systematic work carried
out over a broad region of Segre chart showed
that not only the excitation energies but also related B(E2) values of excited
states in Pseudo-mirror nuclei (PMN) are in good agreement. In the present
work, we present new pseudo-mirror nuclei in the mass region A ~ 170 and A ~
200 for the first time.
