Collective rotational transverse current multipoles: Even-even nuclei

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
We present a systematic study of transverse current multipoles of the ground-state band in even-even rare-earth nuclei. We analyze the q dependence of the form factors under different assumptions about the nature of the rotational mode. We show and compare numerical results of projected-Hartree-Fock and cranking model calculations for /sup 154/Sm, /sup 156,158/Gd, /sup 164/Dy, /sup 166,168/Er, and /sup 174/Yb. We discuss the dependence of the multipoles on the mean field used to generate the ground-state wave function. Finally, we compare to predictions of the rigid rotor and irrotational fluid flow models. Comparison to experiment is restricted to very low momentum transfer by lack of relevant data.
