The experimental and theoretical evidence for intrinsic reflection-asymmetric shapes in
nuclei is reviewed. The theoretical methods discussed cover a wide spectrum, from mean …

This paper reviews the most recent advances in the unders tanding of the physics of
superde formed nuclei from the point of view of the experimentalists. It cover s among other …

A study of rotational properties of the ground superdeformed bands in 190 Hg, 192 Hg, 194
Hg, and 194 Pb is presented. We use the cranked Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method with the …

The design and performance of large arrays of escape suppressed germanium
spectrometers is described. These arrays have revolutionized the-ray spectroscopic study of …

Transition energies of 25 superdeformed (SD) bands in 13 nuclei of the A= 194 region were
fitted by the power-series expansion of I in odd powers of E γ/2, ħ (I+ 1/2)= 2αω+ 4/3β ω 3 …

Experiments using the 160Gd (34S, xn) reaction at 159 and 162 MeV have revealed two γ-
ray cascades which have properties similar to those of the previously reported …

Abstract In 1974 Aage Bohr and Ben Mottelson predicted the different'phases' that may be
expected in deformed nuclei as a function of increasing angular momentum and excitation …

Energies of superdeformed states in nuclei around 192Hg are calculated using the
Strulinsky shell correction method with an average Woods-Saxon potential and a monopole …

The structure of the yrast superdeformed band of 194Hg is for the first time studied up to high
spin (I≅ 70) using the Gogny force in self-consistent cranking Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov …

Using parity projection and the generator-coordinate method we investigate the left-right-
asymmetric softness of the superdeformed minimum of Pb 194. The collective wave …
