Multi-level and two-level models of the decay out of superdeformed bands
نویسندگان
چکیده
We compare a multi-level statistical model with a two-level model for the decay out of superdeformed rotational bands in atomic nuclei. We conclude that while the models depend on different dimensionless combinations of the input parameters and differ in certain limits, they essentially agree in the cases where experimental data is currently available. The implications of this conclusion are discussed.

Universality of decay-out of superdeformed bands in the 190 mass region
Superdeformed nuclei in the 190 mass region exhibit a striking universality in their decay-out profiles. We show that this universality can be explained in the two-level model of superdeformed decay as related to the strong separation of energy scales: a higher scale related to the nuclear interactions, and a lower scale caused by electromagnetic decay. Decay-out can only occur when separate co...

The intensity of the collective γ–rays emitted during the cascade down a superdeformed (SD) band remains constant until a certain spin is reached where-after it drops to zero within a few transitions. The sharp drop in intensity is believed to arise from mixing of the SD states with normally deformed (ND) states of identical spin [1]. The model of Refs. [2,3] attributes the suddenness of the de...

متن کاملTheoretical study of the decay - out spin of superdeformed bands in the Dy and Hg regions
Decay of the superdeformed bands have been studied mainly concentrating upon the decay-out spin, which is sensitive to the tunneling probability between the super-and normal-deformed wells. Although the basic features are well understood by the calculations , it is difficult to precisely reproduce the decay-out spins in some cases. Comparison of the systematic calculations with experimental dat...
متن کاملExactly Solvable Model for the Decay of Superdeformed Nuclei
The history and importance of superdeformation in nuclei is briefly discussed. A simple two-level model is then employed to obtain an elegant expression for the branching ratio for the decay via the E1 process in the normal-deformed band of superdeformed nuclei. From this expression, the spreading width Γ ↓ for superdeformed decay is found to be determined completely by experimentally known qua...
