摘要:Statistical properties of atomic nuclei are studied as function of the number of neutrons. The
experimental method is based on particle-g coincidences measured in light-ion reactions with one
charged ejectile. From particle-g coincidences, level densities and radiative strength functions can
be simultaneously extracted from one and the same data set. Mid-shell nuclei show significant
odd-even entropy differences interpreted as the single-particle entropy of the valence nucleon.
However, these properties change when approaching closed shells. A model within the framework
of the microcanonical ensemble is presented and compared with data from the molybdenum
isotopes. The odd-even entropy difference disappears in the vicinity of the N =50 shell, and an
overshoot of positive parity states is predicted.
