Abstract

Random matrix theory (RMT) is used to provide a measure of the chaoticity (q) of calculated results for the spectra for various Cd isotopes. The goal is to gain a better understanding of the internal dynamics in play; namely, whether it tracks with regular or irregular (chaotic) behavior as determined through an RMT analyses of calculated spectra. The basis-state configurations used to determine the spectra includes all positive, negative, natural (J π = 1-, 2+, ...), and unnatural parity configurations (J π = 0-, 1+, 2-, ...), unless suppressed for comparative purposes. The results show that when intruder-state configurations are in play, regular behavior emerges, but when not in play, chaotic behavior seems to dominate the dynamics.
