Symmetry-Unrestricted Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov Calculations for Exotic Shapes in N=Z Nuclei from 64Ge to 84Mo

By performing fully 3D symmetry-unrestricted Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations, we discuss shape coexistence and possibility of exotic deformations simultaneously breaking the reflection and axial symmetries in proton-rich N=Z nuclei: 64Ge, 68Se, 72Kr, 76Sr, 80Zr and 84Mo. Results of calculation indicate that the oblate ground state of 68Se is extremely soft against the Y33 triangular deformation, and that the low-lying spherical minimum coexisting with the prolate ground state in 80Zr may be unstable against the Y32 tetrahedral deformation.

Periodic-Orbit Bifurcations and Superdeformed Shell Structure

We have derived a semiclassical trace formula for the level density of the three-dimensional spheroidal cavity. To overcome the divergences occurring at bifurcations and in the spherical limit, the trace integrals over the action-angle variables were performed using an improved stationary phase method. The resulting semiclassical level density oscillations and shell-correction energies are in good agreement with quantum-mechanical results. We find that the bifurcations of some dominant short periodic orbits lead to an enhancement of the shell structure for "superdeformed" shapes related to those known from atomic nuclei.

Adiabatic Selfconsistent Collective Coordinate Method for Large Amplitude Collective Motion in Superconducting Nuclei

An adiabatic approximation to the selfconsistent collective coordinate method is formulated in order to describe large amplitude collective motions in superconducting nuclei on the basis of the time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov equations of motion. The basic equations are presented in a local harmonic form which can be solved in a similar way as the quasiparticle RPA equations. The formalism guarantees the conservation of nucleon number expectation values. An extension to the multi-dimensional case is also discussed.

Symmetry Breaking and Bifurcations in the Periodic Orbit Theory: I: Elliptic Billiard

We derive an analytical trace formula for the level density of the two-dimensional elliptic billiard using an improved stationary phase method. The result is a continuous function of the deformation parameter (eccentricity) through all bifurcation points of the short diameter orbit and its repetitions, and possesses the correct limit of the circular billiard at zero eccentricity. Away from the circular limit and the bifurcations, it reduces to the usual (extended) Gutzwiller trace formula which for the leading-order families of periodic orbits is identical to the result of Berry and Tabor. We show that the circular disk limit of the diameter-orbit contribution is also reached through contributions from closed (periodic and non-periodic) orbits of hyperbolic type with an even number of reflections from the boundary. We obtain the Maslov indices depending on deformation and energy in terms of the phases of the complex error and Airy functions. We find enhancement of the amplitudes near the common bifurcation points of both short-diameter and hyperbolic orbits. The calculated semiclassical level densities and shell energies are in good agreement with the quantum mechanical ones.

Semiclassical Origin of Superdeformed Shell Structure in the Spheroidal Cavity Model

Classical periodic orbits responsible for emergence of the superdeformed shell structures for single-particle motions in spheroidal cavities are identified and their relative contributions to the shell structures are evaluated. Both prolate and oblate superdeformations (axis ratio about 2:1) as well as prolate hyperdeformation (axis ratio about 3:1) are investigated. Fourier transforms of quantum spectra clearly show that three-dimensional periodic orbits born out of bifurcations of planar orbits in the equatorial plane become predominant at large prolate deformations, while butterfly-shaped planar orbits bifurcated from linear orbits along the minor axis are important at large oblate deformations.

Periodic-Orbit Bifurcation and Shell Structure at Exotic Deformation

By means of periodic orbit theory and deformed cavity model, we have investigated semiclassical origin of superdeformed shell structure and also of reflection-asymmetric deformed shapes. Systematic analysis of quantum-classical correspondence reveals that bifurcation of equatorial orbits into three-dimensional ones play predominant role in the formation of these shell structures.

Periodic-Orbit Bifurcation and Shell Structure in Reflection-Asymmetric Deformed Cavity

Shell structure of the single-particle spectrum for reflection-asymmetric deformed cavity is investigated. Remarkable shell structure emerges for certain combinations of quadrupole and octupole deformations. Semiclassical periodic-orbit analysis indicates that bifurcation of equatorial orbits plays an important role in the formation of this new shell structure.

Octupole Correlations in Excited Bands of Superdeformed Dy-152

RPA calculations, based on the cranked shell model, are performed for superdeformed \dy\ in which five excited bands have been found recently. We show that characteristic features of the observed dynamical moments of inertia are well accounted for by explicitly taking the octupole correlations into account. Importance of the interplay between rotation and octupole vibrations is stressed, and it is suggested that one of the observed excited bands might be a collective octupole vibration built on the superdeformed yrast band.

Low-energy M1 and E3 excitations in the proton-rich Kr-Zr region

Low-energy intrinsic $K^π$=1$^+$, $0^-$, $1^-$, $2^-$, and $3^-$ states in the even-even proton-rich Sr, Kr, and Zr nuclei are investigated using the quasiparticle random phase approximation. In the Z$\simeq$N nuclei the lowest-lying 1$^+$ states are found to carry unusually large $B(M1)$ strength. It is demonstrated that, unlike in the heavier nuclei, the octupole collectivity in the light zirconium region is small and, thus, is not directly correlated with the systematics of the lowest negative parity states.
