Cranked Relativistic Mean Field Description of Superdeformed Rotational Bands

Abstract

The cranked relativistic mean field theory is applied for a detailed investigation of eight superdeformed rotational bands observed in ${}^{151}$Tb. It is shown that this theory is able to reproduce reasonably well not only the dynamic moments of inertia $J^{(2)}$ of the observed bands but also the alignment properties of the single-particle orbitals.
