Interplay between pairing and triaxial shape degrees of freedom in Os and Pt nuclei
Interplay between pairing and triaxial shape degrees of freedom in Os and Pt nuclei
The effect of coupling between pairing and quadrupole triaxial shape vibrations on the low-energy collective states of $\gamma$-soft nuclei is investigated using a model based on the framework of nuclear energy density functionals (EDFs). Employing a constrained self-consistent mean-field (SCMF) method that uses universal EDFs and pairing interactions, potential energy …
