Superdeformation in nuclei

  1. Argonne National Laboratory, IL (United States)
Superdeformation arises because of the occurrence of a secondary minimum (or false vacuum) at large deformation. Thus, superdeformed nuclei provide an opportunity for the study of physics in a false vacuum. Perspectives will be given on three aspects of superdeformed nuclei: (i) the occurrence of identical bands, (ii) the feeding of superdeformed bands; and (iii) their decay. Some aspects of superdeformation will be related to other fields of chemistry and physics.
