Generalized seniority isomers in and around $Z=82$ closed shell: a survey of Hg, Pb and Po isotopes

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the generalized seniority scheme and the validity of Generalized Seniority Schmidt Model in and around the $Z=82$ semi-magic region. A consistently same multi-j configuration is used to explain all the nuclear spectroscopic properties such as $g-$factors, $Q-$moments and $B(E2)$ trends for the ${13/2}^{+}$, ${12}^{+}$ and ${33/2}^{+}$ isomers in all the three Hg, Pb and Po isotopic chains. The inverted parabolic $B(E2)$ trends for the first $2^{+}$ states in Hg, Pb and Po isotopes are also explained using the generalized seniority scheme. A comparison with the experimental data is presented, wherever possible, and future possibilities are suggested.
