Description of the Nuclear Octupole and Quadrupole Deformation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A parametrization of octupole plus quadrupole deformation, in terms of intrinsic variables defined in the rest frame of the overall tensor of inertia, is presented and discussed. The model is valid for situations close to the axial symmetry, but non axial deformation parameters are not frozen to zero. The properties of the octupole excitations in the deformed Thorium isotopes Th, Th are interpreted in the frame of this model. A tentative interpretation of octupole oscillations in nuclei close to the X(5) symmetry, in terms of an exactly separable potential, is also discussed.

Analytic Description of Critical Point Actinides in a Transition from Octupole Deformation to Octupole Vibrations
An analytic collective model in which the relative presence of the quadrupole and octupole deformations is determined by a parameter (φ0), while axial symmetry is obeyed, is developed. The model [to be called the analytic quadrupole octupole axially symmetric model (AQOA)] involves an infinite well potential, provides predictions for energy and B(EL) ratios which depend only on φ0, draws the bo...
متن کاملNuclear Schiff moment in nuclei with soft octupole and quadrupole vibrations
Nuclear forces violating parity and time reversal invariance (P,T -odd) produce P,T -odd nuclear moments, for example, the nuclear Schiff moment. In turn, this moment can induce the electric dipole moment in the atom. The nuclear Schiff moment is predicted to be enhanced in nuclei with static quadrupole and octupole deformation. The analogous suggestion of the enhanced contribution to the Schif...

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 ...
متن کاملChaos in axially symmetric potentials with octupole deformation.
Classical and quantum mechanical results are reported for the single particle motion in a harmonic oscillator potential which is characterized by a quadrupole deformation and an additional octupole deformation. The chaotic character of the motion is strongly dependent on the quadrupole deformation in that for a prolate deformation virtually no chaos is discernible while for the oblate case the ...
متن کاملModeling the Shape: Some Contemporary Approaches to Quadrupole-Octupole Deformations in Atomic Nuclei
We will briefly review a few collective and microscopic model approaches currently developing with the aim to explore nuclear dynamic properties ensuing from the appearance of quadrupole-octupole deformations. We will depict the present status of the study of alternating-parity spectra in even-even nuclei and parity quasi-doublet sequences in odd-mass nuclei. Different model limits of octupole ...
