K. Enami et al., Calculation of E2-transition probabilities based on angular momentum-projected cranked Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory - art. no. 027301, PHYS REV C, 6102(2), 2000, pp. 7301
The E2-transition probabilities are calculated for high-spin states in the
ytterbium isotopes Yb-160,Yb-164,Yb-168 by projecting out exact angular mom
entum states from cranked Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (CHFB) intrinsic wave fun
ctions. It is shown that the projected CHFB theory describes reasonably wel
l the overall trend of the experimental B(E2) values along with spin, exhib
iting their substantial reduction in the band-crossing region.
