Rotating deformed halo nuclei and shape decoupling effects

Abstract

We explore the rotational feature of deformed halos by performing the angular momentum projection (AMP) on the ground state wave functions obtained from the deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory (DRHBc) in continuum. The DRHBc+AMP approach self-consistently describes the coupling between single particle bound states and the continuum not only in the ground state but also in rotational states. The rotational modes of deformed halos in ${}^{42}$Mg and ${}^{44}$Mg are investigated by studying properties of rotational states such as excitation energy, configuration, and density distribution. Our study demonstrates that the deformed halo structure persists from the ground state in the intrinsic frame to collective states. Especially, the typical behavior of shape decoupling effects in rotating deformed halo nuclei is revealed.
