The observation of vibrating pear shapes in radon nuclei: update

P. A. Butler, L. P. Gaffney, P. Spagnoletti +41

There is a large body of evidence that atomic nuclei can undergo octupole distortion and assume the shape of a pear. This phenomenon is important for measurements of electric-dipol…

Evolution of Octupole Deformation in Radium Nuclei from Coulomb Excitation of Radioactive Ra and Ra Beams

P. A. Butler, L. P. Gaffney, P. Spagnoletti +40

There is sparse direct experimental evidence that atomic nuclei can exhibit stable pear shapes arising from strong octupole correlations. In order to investigate the nature of octu…
