Parity shift and beat staggering structure of octupole bands in a collective model for quadrupole–octupole deformed nuclei
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a collective model formalism which describes the strong parity shift observed in low-lying spectra of nuclei with octupole deformations together with the fine rotational band structure developed at higher angular momenta. The parity effect is obtained by the Schrödinger equation for oscillations of the reflection asymmetric (octupole) shape between two opposite orientations in an angular momentum dependent double-well potential. The rotational structure is obtained by a collective quadrupole-octupole rotation Hamiltonian. The model scheme reproduces the complicated beat staggering patterns observed in the octupole bands of light actinide nuclei. It explains the angular momentum evolution of octupole spectra as the interplay between the octupole shape oscillation (parity shift) mode and the stable quadrupole-octupole rotation mode.

Mean field study of the quadrupole-octupole degree of freedom in the spdf boson model
We present a mean field study of the quadrupole-octupole degree of freedom in collective nuclei within the framework of the spd f -boson model. For realistic choices of the Hamiltonian parameters, the ground state of the system is shown to remain axially symmetric, which considerably simplifies the mean field treatment. The critical point for the onset of octupole deformation in quadrupole defo...
متن کاملNuclear collective motion with a coherent coupling interaction between quadrupole and octupole modes
A collective Hamiltonian for the rotation–vibration motion of nuclei is considered, in which the axial quadrupole and octupole degrees of freedom are coupled through the centrifugal interaction. The potential of the system depends on the two deformation variables β2 and β3. The system is considered to oscillate between positive and negative β3-values, by rounding an infinite potential core in t...
متن کاملShape-phase transitions in mixed parity systems and the onset of octupole deformation
Shape-phase transitions in mixed parity boson systems are studied using mean field theory. It is shown that without parity projection, shape transitions in mixed parity systems are very similar to those in positive parity systems, both requiring a finite interaction strength for the onset of deformation. The shape-phase diagram in mixed parity systems, however, changes significantly after parit...
متن کاملCollective T- and P-odd electromagnetic moments in nuclei with octupole deformations.
Parity and time invariance violating forces produce collective Pand Todd moments in nuclei with static octupole deformation. Collective Schiff moment, electric octupole and dipole and also magnetic quadrupole appear due to the mixing of rotational levels of opposite parity and can exceed singleparticle moments by more than a factor of 100. This enhancement is due to two factors, the collective ...
