Woods-Saxon potential parameters optimized to the high spin spectra in the lead region

Abstract
The parametrization of the spin-orbit part of the Woods-Saxon potential was optimized taking into account the single-particle energies corrected for nucleon-nucleus interaction and the high-spin spectra of Pb204 and Rn212. With the spin-orbit potential strength parameters λ=36.0 and the radius parameter (r0)so=1.3 fm for both protons and neutrons, both types of empirical data are reproduced well. The configurations of the calculated high-spin states are identical with the shell-model results.
