Quantum algebras are a mathematical tool which provides us with a class of symmetries
wider than that of Lie algebras, which are contained in the former as a special case. After a …

This paper presents the characteristics of a new generation of composite germanium
detectors: the Clover detector. Its development was based on simulation calculations …

Algorithms for the subtraction of backgrounds from γ-γ matrices and higher-fold data sets,
obtained from in-beam HPGe coincidence experiments with heavy-ion-induced nuclear …

The cranked Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method, applied in a previous study to SD bands of
even Hg and Pb isotopes, is extended by including pairing correlations described by a zero …

The Δ I= 1 staggering (odd-even staggering) in octupole bands of light actinides is found to
exhibit a “beat” behavior as a function of the angular momentum I, forcing us to revise the …

It is shown that the ΔI= 2 staggering effect recently discovered in superdeformed rotational
bands could be explained by a phenomenological theory of C 4 v bifurcation. In this …

The structure of the yrast superdeformed band of 194Hg is for the first time studied up to high
spin (I≅ 70) using the Gogny force in self-consistent cranking Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov …

Δ I= 4 bifurcation has been observed in two superdeformed bands, the newly discovered
yrast superdeformed band of 148 Eu, and a previously known excited band in 148 Gd. Both …

Six rotational bands built on superdeformed intrinsic configurations have been observed in
the 149Gd nucleus with the Eurogam spectrometer. Orbital configuration assignments have …

Precise level lifetimes have been measured for various superdeformed bands in 1 4 8, 1 4 9
Gd and 152 Dy with the Doppler-shift attenuation method. From the derived quadrupole …
