Universality of Decay out of Superdeformed Bands in the 190 Mass Region
D. M. Cardamone, B. R. Barrett, C. A. Stafford
Superdeformed nuclei in the 190 mass region exhibit a striking universality in their decay-out profiles. We show that this universality can be explained in the two-level model of s…
Exactly Solvable Model for the Decay of Superdeformed Nuclei
B. R. Barrett, D. M. Cardamone, C. A. Stafford
The history and importance of superdeformation in nuclei is briefly discussed. A simple two-level model is then employed to obtain an elegant expression for the branching ratio for…
How to measure the spreading width for decay of superdeformed nuclei
D. M. Cardamone, C. A. Stafford, B. R. Barrett
A new expression for the branching ratio for the decay via the E1 process in the normal-deformed band of superdeformed nuclei is given within a simple two-level model. Using this e…
