Available experimental level energies were used as input data, and additional observables—excitation energies, energy ratios, reduced electric transition probabilities <i>B</i>(<i>E</i>2), and electric quadrupole moments (<span>({{Q}_{l}})</span>)—were calculated with the IBMT.FOR code. The IBM-1 Hamiltonian was diagonalized for <i>N</i> = 9 bosons, with effective charges fitted via the B(E2).dat input scheme. The results show that IBM-1 reproduces the low-spin spectrum and transition rates well, while VMI and GVMI better capture the upward curvature of the ground band at higher spin. The experimental energy ratios (<i>R</i>_4/2 = 2.15, <i>R</i>_6/2 = 3.59, <i>R</i>_8/2 = 3.66) lie close to the <i>SU</i>(5) vibrational limit and far from the <i>SU</i>(3) rotor, placing ¹⁹⁴Po on the <i>SU</i>(5)–<i>O</i>(6) side of the Casten triangle. The <i>B</i>(<i>E</i>2) data are reproduced within ~20%, while the model predicts a distinctive rise–collapse–recovery pattern at higher spin due to <i>SU</i>(5)–O(6) interference. For the reduced transition probability, the experimental value of <i>B</i>(<i>E</i>2; <span>(~2_{1}^{ + })</span> → <span>(~0_{1}^{ + })</span>) was 0.2225 e²b², while the theoretical calculation yielded a value of 0.18 e²b². The calculated quadrupole moments <i>Q</i> of the five 2⁺ states exhibit alternating signs, consistent with γ softness and strong state mixing. It was found that the experimental value of <i>Q</i> is 5.5 eb, which is in excellent agreement with the theoretical prediction of 5.5 eb. For ¹⁹⁴Po, the ground-state and γ-bands were analyzed using IBM-1, VMI, and GVMI models, enabling the prediction of levels not yet experimentally confirmed. Several tentative experimental values were supported by the models, with VMI and GVMI showing the closest agreement (χ² = 0.000091 and 0.000001, respectively). The IBM-1 framework, supported by VMI/GVMI trends, provides a reliable description of its structure, while the predicted high-spin <i>B</i>(<i>E</i>2) transitions and quadrupole moments remain decisive tests for future experiments.</p>","PeriodicalId":730,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Particles and Nuclei Letters","volume":"23 2","pages":"131 - 138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147667810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is known as the Perey effect. In this work, we utilize the calculated Perey damping factor to demonstrate that the nonlocal velocity-dependent optical potential simulates a source of nonlocality. In that regard, we considered proton scattering from ¹²C, ¹⁶O, ⁴⁰Ca, ⁵⁸Ni, and ¹²⁰Sn in the energy range between 10–40 MeV. The Perey damping factor is calculated for each nucleus at each incident proton energy and for different angular momentum quantum numbers to assess the nonlocality strength resulting from the velocity-dependent nonlocal optical potential. The potential parameters required to determine the local and the nonlocal wave functions, and therefore the Perey damping factors, are obtained from different articles. In one case, the required potential parameters were obtained by fitting these parameters to the experimental angular distributions using a least-square fit analysis. Our results demonstrate that the effect of the nonlocal potential is dependent on the target and is dependent on both energy and orbital angular momentum for each target.</p>","PeriodicalId":730,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Particles and Nuclei Letters","volume":"23 2","pages":"226 - 239"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147667809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
