Enhanced moments of inertia for rotation in neutron-rich nuclei

Abstract

Ground-state moments of inertia (MoI) are investigated for about 1700 even-even nuclei from the proton drip line to the neutron drip line up to $Z=120$ and $N=184$. The cranked Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov equation is solved in the coordinate space. This model describes well the available experimental data of more than 300 nuclides possessing an appreciable deformation. I find that the MoI greatly increase near the drip line whereas the deformation is not as strong as estimated by the empirical relation. Systematic measurements of the excitation energy and the transition probability to the first $I^{\pi }=2^{+}$ state in neutron-rich nuclei not only reveal the evolution of deformation but can also constrain an effective pair interaction.
