Abstract

The contribution of quantum shape fluctuations to inertial properties of rotating nuclei has been analyzed for QQ-nuclear interaction using the random phase approximation (RPA). The different recipes to treat the cranking mean field plus RPA problem are considered. The effects of the dN=2 quadrupole matrix elements and the role of the volume conservation condition are discussed.
