K. Sugawaratanabe et A. Arima, QUANTIZATION OF ALIGNMENT AND DIFFERENT PARITY PAIR LEVELS WITH OMEGA=1 2/, Nuclear physics. A, 557, 1993, pp. 30000157-30000166
Two different parity single-particle levels with asymptotic quantum nu
mbers [N, N, 0]1/2 and [N - 1, N - 2, 1]1/2 are almost degenerate at s
uperdeformation near the fermi surface for Z = 66 and N = 86 or 112. W
e found that the effect of the spin-orbit coupling force becomes small
er for these parity doublet levels because of the strongly deformed qu
adrupole field. Then the L - S coupling scheme is recovered for them,
indicating the real spin is responsible for the quantization of alignm
ent. As long as the spin-orbit interaction is negligible, the superdef
ormed levels can be described by SU(3) group with eight generators and
Casimir operator.
