Bohr-Mottelson Hamiltonian with octic potential applied to the ${}^{106-116}$Cd isotopes

P. Buganu, R. Budaca

The Bohr-Mottelson Hamiltonian, with an octic potential in the ${\hat{I}}^2$-deformation variable, is numerically solved for a ${\hat{I}}^3$-unstable symmetry of the nuclear system. The analytical s…
