The determination of hexadecapole deformation parameters in actinide nuclei and their variation near the nuclear surface

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

By computing self consistently the nuclear density of238U with the Skyrme SIII effective force, the hexadecapole deformation parameter has been found to vary considerably in the nuclear surface. This suggests an explanation for some discrepancies observed betweenβ 4 parameters estimated from different inelastic scattering experiments.
