Coriolis anti-pairing theory of nuclear rotations nuclear meissner-effect
Abstract
It is shown that the ground-state rotational bands of spherical nuclei are formed by a gradual alignment of the angular momenta of valence nucleons along the rotation axis. The predicted spin and excitation energy values of the first rotational state in 212Po nucleus are J = 16 + and E = 2.91 MeV which is in reasonable agreement with the experimental data ( J = (18 +), E = 2.93 MeV).
