Properties of the predicted superdeformed band in 32S -: art. no. 054308

Properties like the excitation energy with respect to the ground state, moments of inertia, B(E2) transition probabilities, and stability against quadrupole fluctuations at low spin of the predicted superdeformed band of S-32 are studied with the Gogny force D1S using the angular momentum projected generator coordinate method for the axially symmetric quadrupole moment. The self-consistent cranking method is also used to describe the superdeformed rotational band. In addition, properties of some collective normal deformed states are discussed.
