Shapes of heavy transition nuclei in a self-consistent anisotropic oscillator model

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
The second- and fourth-order mass moments of the even-neutron transition nuclei /sup 178/ - /sup 188/W, /sup 182/ /sup 194/Os, /sup 187/ - /sup 195/Ir, /sup 186/ - /sup 198/Pt, /sup 191/ - /sup 199/Au, and /sup 194/ - /sup 206/Hg have been calculated using a self-consistent version of the anisotropic oscillator model. A structural basis is found for possible asymmetric intrinisc nuclear shapes in the transition regio, particularly in some of the Os and Pt nuclei and the Ir and Au nuclei nearest to even neighbors with large deformations. The calculations predict large negative fourth-order moments for this region.
