Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov calculations for nuclei with tetrahedral deformation

Abstract

Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov solutions corresponding to the tetrahedral deformation are found in six tetrahedrally doubly-magic nuclei. Values of the beta32 deformation, depths of the tetrahedral minima, and their energies relative to the co-existing quadrupole minima are determined for several versions of the Skyrme force. Reduction of the tetrahedral deformation energies by pairing correlations is quantitatively analysed. In light nuclei, shallow tetrahedral minima are found to be the lowest in energy, while in heavy nuclei, the minima are deeper but appear at a few MeV of excitation.
