Identical superdeformed bands

  • Published:
Acta Physica Hungarica New Series Heavy Ion Physics

Abstract

The phenomenon of identical bands is studied by analyzing the distributions of fractional changes in the dynamical moments of inertia of pairs of bands in superdeformed (SD) nuclei. These distributions are found to exhibit a peak with a centroid at nearly zero. Their widths increase in going from the SD bands in the massA∼150, to the SD bands in the mass ∼190 and to the normally-deformed bands in the rare-earth region. These differences may be attributed to the weaker pairing correlations and the stabilizing role of intruder orbitals on the structures of SD bands. Precise level lifetimes have been measured for various pairs of identical SD bands in Gd and Dy isotopes. By comparing the derived quadrupole moments with calculations performed in the framework of the cranking Skyrme-Hartree-Fock model, it is shown that, independently of the intrinsic configuration and of the proton and neutron numbers, the charge moments calculated with respect to the doubly-magic SD core of152Dy can be expressed in terms of independent contributions from the individual hole and particle orbitals.
