This study addresses the long-standing problem of the simultaneous description of shape oscillations and pairing vibrations in deformed nuclei, using self-consistent mean-field calculations and the framework of the interacting boson approximation. Explicit coupling to pairing vibrations is taken into account, showing the importance of dynamical pairing degrees of freedom in low-energy excited states of gamma-soft and triaxial nuclei, as illustrated for Xe-128 and Xe-130.
In addition to shape oscillations, low-energy excitation spectra of deformed nuclei are also influenced by pairing vibrations. The simultaneous description of these collective modes and their coupling has been a long-standing problem in nuclear structure theory. Here we address the problem in terms of self-consistent mean-field calculations of collective deformation-energy surfaces, and the framework of the interacting boson approximation. In addition to quadrupole shape vibrations and rotations, the explicit coupling to pairing vibrations is taken into account by a boson-number nonconserving Hamiltonian, specified by a choice of a universal density functional and pairing interaction. An illustrative calculation for Xe-128 and Xe-130 shows the importance of dynamical pairing degrees of freedom, especially for structures built on low-energy 0(+) excited states, in gamma-soft and triaxial nuclei.
