Negative R-parity scissors modes in the Two-Rotors Model

Abstract

In a previous work I constructed R-negative scissors states in the Two-Rotors Model in which the rotors are two-sided classical bodies. Such states have |K| = 1; 0 components and negative space parity. Here I extend this work including reflections in a plane through the rotors symmetry axes obtaining also R-negative states of positive parity. I then associate reflections and R-operations with corresponding operations on internal noncollective variables of the rotors. I evaluate the em transition strengths of these states and compare them with the corresponding strengths of R-positive scissors modes.
