The effect of deformation on nuclear level density

ORAL

Abstract

A study of the systematic behavior of nuclear level density for 20 \textless A \textless 70 has been performed. A code was developed to download the data from the nuclear data base and extract the energy levels together with their spin and parity assignments. The numbers of states per energy level were calculated under both assumptions of spherical and deformed nuclei. The density of states is calculated and plotted for comparison under both scenarios.
