Abstract

The effective field theory for collective rotations of triaxially deformed nuclei is generalized to odd-mass nuclei by including the angular momentum of the valence nucleon as an additional degree of freedom. The Hamiltonian is constructed up to next-to-leading order within the effective field theory formalism. The applicability of this Hamiltonian is examined by describing the wobbling bands observed in the lutetium isotopes 161,163,165,167^{161,163,165,167}Lu. It is found that by taking into account the next-to-leading order corrections, quartic in the rotor angular momentum, the wobbling energies EwobE_{\textrm{wob}} and spin-rotational frequency relations ω(I)\omega(I) are better described than with the leading order Hamiltonian.
