ON THE PREPONDERANCE OF PROLATE DEFORMATIONS IN NUCLEI
The level scheme of the Nilsson potential is used to calculate the total energy as a function of deformation: the predicted equilibrium deformations can be found as a function of mass number and are in agreement with experiment both in magnitude and shape, i.e., the preponderance of prolate nuclear shapes is produced. The success of a simple Nilsson-type model and the aspect of the potential that makes the prolate deformations more stable are discussed. (L.N.N.)
