Quadrupole-octupole coupling and the evolution of collectivity in neutron-deficient Xe, Ba, Ce, and Nd isotopes
The evolution of quadrupole and octupole collectivity in neutron-deficient Xe, Ba, Ce, and Nd nuclei near the "octupole magic" neutron number N=56 is investigated within the mapped sdf-IBM framework. Microscopic input is obtained via quadrupole and octupole constrained Hartree-Fock-Bogoliu...

| Resumo: | The evolution of quadrupole and octupole collectivity in neutron-deficient Xe, Ba, Ce, and Nd nuclei near the "octupole magic" neutron number N=56 is investigated within the mapped sdf-IBM framework. Microscopic input is obtained via quadrupole and octupole constrained Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations, based on the parametrization D1M of the Gogny energy density functional. Octupole-deformed mean-field ground states are predicted for Ba and Ce isotopes near N=56. Excitation energies of positive- and negative-parity states as well as electric transition rates are computed with wave functions resulting from the diagonalization of the mapped IBM Hamiltonian. The parameters of the Hamiltonian are determined via the mapping of the mean-field potential energy surfaces onto the expectation value of the Hamiltonian in the condensate state of the s, d, and f bosons. Enhanced octupolarity is predicted for Xe, Ba, and Ce isotopes near N=56. The shape/phase transition from octupole-deformed to strongly quadrupole-deformed near N=60 is analyzed in detail |
