SINGLE-PARTICLE CALCULATIONS IN AN AXIALLY DEFORMED WOODS-SAXON POTENTIAL WITH CASSINIAN OVALS PARAMETRIZATION OF THE SHAPE DEFORMATION

Single-particle energies and wave functions of an axially deformed Woo ds-Saxon potential are computed. The nuclear shape may be defined in t erms of an expansion into spherical harmonics or in terms of Cassinian oval parameterization. The standard liquid drop model constants, effe ctive barriers for the unbound states, single-particle quadrupole mome nts and g-factors are also calculated. The applied shape parameterizat ion of the potential well allows to generate the single particle orbit als also for the extreme deformations, even for two-centre-type proble ms.
