Microscopic description of four-body excitations in heavy nuclei

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
Under the assumption that the ground state of a many-body system is formed by a condensate of quartets, the structure of these quartets, as well as the equations that describe the excitations of such a system, are obtained. It is shown that such a description can be applied to well deformed nuclei. In particular, it is found that the one- and three-body excitations will have a description that is similar to the one provided by the Nilsson model. Some experimental differences are predicted.
