Nilsson parameter set in theA≊120–140region

Abstract
New Nilsson (κ,μ) parameter sets for the proton N=4, 5, and 6 harmonic oscillator shells are deduced for the A≊120–140 mass region by fitting a potential-energy-surface calculation, using the Nilsson-Strutinsky method, to 28 experimental bandhead energies. The results from both the standard and the fitted Nilsson (κ,μ) parameter sets are compared with experimental bandhead energies. The fitted (κ,μ) parameter sets achieve a significant improvement in the bandhead energies over this region. In addition, calculated single-particle levels using both the Woods-Saxon and the Nilsson potentials are compared.
