Macroscopic manifestations of rotating triaxial superfluid nuclei

Abstract

Recently, Allmond and Wood [Phys. Lett. B 767, 226 (2017)] were able to extract the three moments of inertia IkI_k of a dozen of superfluid triaxial nuclei from experimental data. The observed dependence of the IkI_k on the deformation parameters is rather smooth. Here we show that these moments of inertia can be surprisingly well explained by a semiclassical cranked Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) calculation in which the velocity field is a simple superposition of rigid and irrotational flows.
