Clustering aspects of nuclei with octupole and superdeformation

Åberg, Sven LU and Jönsson, Lars Ove LU (1994) In Zeitschrift für Physik A: Hadrons and Nuclei 349(3-4). p.205-211
Abstract

Extreme nuclear shapes are considered from the clustering point of view. General aspects of light nuclei which possess very exotic, elongated shapes ("α-strings") are given. The relation between superdeformation and di-molecules is considered, and it is shown that nuclear di-molecules have the same magic numbers and orbits filled as the ellipsoidal superdeformations for light nuclei, while for heavier nuclei they are expected in different mass-regions. The structure of possible octupole-unstable 3:1 nuclear shapes ("hyperdeformations") is discussed. Indications and consequences of a four-fold symmetry of the nuclear hamiltonian are briefly discussed.
