A comparative study of super - and highly - deformed bands in the A ∼ 60 mass region

A comparative study of super-and highly-deformed bands in the A ∼ 60 mass region Abstract Super-and highly-deformed rotational bands in the A ∼ 60 mass region are studied within cranked relativistic mean field theory and the configuration-dependent shell-correction approach based on the cranked Nilsson potential. Both approaches describe the experimental data well. Low values of the dynamic moments of inertia J (2) compared with the kinematic moments of inertia J (1) seen both in experiment and in calculations at high rotational frequencies indicate the high energy cost to build the states at high spin and reflect the limited angular momentum content in these configurations.
