Abstract
The coefficient B, occurring in the angular-momentum expansion EI=AI(I+1)+BI2(I+1)2+ of the energy levels of the ground-state rotational band of even-even deformed nuclei, is numerically calculated on the basis of a microscopic model derived in a previous paper. Numerical estimates of the z factors, which measure the effect of band-mixing on γ-ray branching ratios from vibrational to ground-state bands, are also presented.
