Abstract

Manifestations of pronounced shell effects are discovered when non-axial octupole deformations are added to a harmonic oscillator model. The degeneracies of the quantum spectra are in good agreement with the corresponding main periodic orbits and winding number ratios which are found by classical analysis.
