Abstract

An approximation is given for the expectation value of the Hamiltonian with functions:

where ¦ϕ〉 is a HFB wave function of a deformed nucleus. This is achieved by expanding the overlap function of the energy 〈ϕ¦ HD(Ω)¦ϕ〉 in derivatives of the overlap function of the norm 〈ϕ D(Ω)¦ϕ〉. The cranking equations for even nuclei are yielded by varying the approximate energy.
