Title: Wobbling motion: A gamma-rigid or gamma-soft mode?

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C

For even-even nuclei, it is shown that the predicted B(E2) values from the odd spin states of the quasi-gamma band in a gamma-soft nucleus to the yrast band are quite similar to those predicted for the one-phonon wobbling mode of a rigidly triaxial nucleus. This suggests that the observation of wobbling points to axial asymmetry but not necessairly to rigid triaxiality.
