Triaxial rotation-axis flip triggered by an isoscalar np pair

Srivastava, P. C. ; Åberg, S. LU and Ragnarsson, I. LU (2017) In Physical Review C: covering nuclear physics 95(1).
Abstract

We show that the rotation axis of a triaxial nucleus may flip from the intermediate axis (γ=-30) to the smallest axis (γ=+30) due to the polarization by an aligned T=0np pair. The example we discuss is the triaxial N=Z nucleus Ge64 where the isoscalar π(g9/2)- ν(g9/2) pair aligns to iπ=9+ in As66 and flips the rotation from γ≈-30 to γ≈30. Calculations are performed in the spherical shell model as well as in the cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky model, supporting the suggested scenario. The role of the np interaction in forming the np pair is discussed in both models.
