1. As we saw in class, quantum mechanics reproduce the rotational behavior of axially deformed molecules, atoms and nuclei with striking precision. i) From the Hamiltonian for a rigid rotor, calculate the excitation-energy ratios E(4+)/E(2+), E(6+)/E(4*) and E(8+)/E(6+) for the ground-state band and draw the corresponding level scheme and gamma-ray energy spectrum assuming 75 keV for E(2+). ii) What are the typical energies for the first excitation of vibrational and rotational nuclei?
