Coexistence of Regular Undamped Nuclear Dynamics with Intrinsic Chaoticity
Coexistence of Regular Undamped Nuclear Dynamics with Intrinsic Chaoticity
We study the conditions under which the nucleons inside a deformed nucleus can undergo chaotic motion. To do this we perform self-consistent calculations in semiclassical approximation utilizing a multipole-multipole interaction of the Bohr-Mottelson type for quadrupole and octupole deformations. For the case of harmonic and nonharmonic static potentials, we find …
