Superdeformed bands in 32S and neighboring nuclei predicted within the Hartree-Fock method -: art. no. 044304

Superdeformed configurations in S-32,and in neighboring nuclei S-33, S-31, Cl-33, and P-31, determined within the Hartree-Fock approach with the Skyrme interaction. Energies, angular momenta, quadrupole moments, particle-emission Q values, and relative alignments and quadrupole moments are calculated for a number of superdeformed rotational bands in these nuclei. A new mechanism implying an existence of signature-separated rotational bands. distinct from the well-known signature-split bands, is discussed and associated with the time-odd channels of effective interactions.
