New Method for Spin Assignment of Superdeformed Rotational Bands

A systematic study of the super-deformed (SD) bands in [Formula: see text] mass region is carried out by using two different approaches, namely, the Principal-axis Cranking (PAC) and the Variable Moment of Inertia (VMI). Both these approaches not only support each other’s results but also their hand-in-hand calculations help us in establishing the prominent features, like the band-head spin, parity, quadrupole moment and excitation energy, of the observed SD bands. Since the rotational frequency in the PAC model depends on angular momentum, parity, and quadrupole moment, by identifying the most common rotational frequency between the calculations and the experimentally observed ones, the band-head spin, and parity are likely to be extracted. On the other hand, the VMI model calculations are quite simple and are capable of predicting the threshold limits of band-head spin, the quadrupole moment, and the excitation energy, which in turn are significantly useful for deciding an appropriate configuration assignment in the PAC model calculations of the existing as well as upcoming SD bands. Further, the VMI model calculations involve the variation of the moment of inertia with angular momentum, which in turn is quite helpful in understanding the mechanism of the observed identical SD bands between a pair of neighboring nuclei.
