Supershell Effect and Stability of Classical Periodic Orbits in Reflection-Asymmetric Superdeformed Oscillator

Abstract

A semiclassical analysis is made of the origin of an undulating pattern in the smoothed level density for a reflection-asymmetric superdeformed oscillator potential. It is suggested that, when the octupole-type deformation increases, an interference effect between two families of periodic orbit with the ratio of periods approximately 2:1 becomes stronger and thus a pronounced ``supershell'' structure appears.
