Period of the gamma-ray staggering in the 150Gd superdeformed region
It has been previously proposed to explain gamma-ray staggerings in the deexcitation of some superdeformed bands in the $^{150}$Gd region in terms of a coupling between global rotation and intrinsic vortical modes. The observed 4$\hbar$ period for the phenomenon is suggested from our microscopic Routhian calculations using the Skyrme SkM* effective interaction.
