The superdeformed excited band of Ca-40
Abstract
The superdeformed band, recently discovered in Ca-40 is analysed in an spherical shell model context. Two major oscillator shells, sd and pf are necessary to describe it. The yrast band of the fixed 8p-8h configuration fits extremely well with the experimental energies and transition rates of the superdeformed band. The 4p-4h configuration generates a normally deformed band plus a gamma-band pattern, both are also present in the experimental data.
