Octupole deformation • Multipole order: l=3 • Axial symmetry • Reflection Asymmetry 5- 6+ 6+ 3- 5- Energy spectra 4+ 4+ 1- 3- 2+ 2+ 1- 0+ 0+ • Low lying negative–parity • states • States of alternating • parity --> band Rotational Vibrational
Analytic QuadrupoleOctupole Axially symmetric model (AQOA) 𝝓 relative presence between quadrupole and octupole
Energy Staggering normalized to of each nucleus for odd L
Parameter-free solution L-dependent effective potential Expand around min dependence eliminated!
T-violation EDM • Atom in its g.s. cannot have an EDM without T-violation • Neutral atom in uniform el. Fielde- displaced: cancel the el. field at the nucleus • But! Nucleus is not point-like e.g. does not see uniform el. field of e- yet is not accelerated! • If nuclear charge =/= nuclear dipole-moment density distr average force on nucleus =0 while EDM interaction =/=0 • Schiff moment(=el dipole distr weighted by R^2) measure of this • Octupole deformed nuclei enhanced Schiff moment
