Systematic study of E2 matrix elements in the framework of the Triaxial Projected Shell Model

Abstract: Nuclides for which extended sets of E2 matrix elements have been measured by means of COULEX experiments are studied in the framework of the triaxial projected shell model (TPSM). The studies encompass: 70,72,74,76Ge, 76,78,80,82Se, 100Mo, 104Ru, 110Pd, 168Er, 186,188,190Os, 184Pt. The experimental energies of the ground band, of the quasi gamma band and of some excited 0+ bands as well as their individual intra and inter band matrix E2 matrix elements are systematically accounted for by the microscopic TPSM calculations.
