High-spin yrast structure of 32S suggested by symmetry-unrestricted, cranked Hartree-Fock calculations

Abstract

High-spin yrast structure of 32S is investigated by means of the cranked Skyrme-Hartree-Fock method in the three-dimensional Cartesian-mesh representation without imposing restrictions on spatial symmetries. The result suggests that 1) a crossover from the superdeformed to the hyperdeformed-like configurations takes place on the yrast line at angular momentum $I\simeq 24$, which corresponds to the ``band termination'' point in the cranked harmonic-oscillator model, and 2) non-axial octupole deformations of the $Y_{31}$ type play an important role in the yrast states in the range $5\le I\le 13$.
