Excitation energy of superdeformed bands in Relativistic Mean Field Theory
arXiv:nucl-th/9712032 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(98)00368-2
Abstract
Constrained Relativistic Mean Field (RMF) calculations have been carried out to estimate excitation energies relative to the ground state for superdeformed bands in the mass regions A $\sim$ 190 and A $\sim$ 150. It is shown that RMF theory is able to successfully reproduce the recently measured superdeformed minima in Hg and Pb nuclei.
