Efficient Method for Quantum Number Projection and Its Application to Tetrahedral Nuclear States


Abstract in English

We have developed an efficient method for quantum number projection from most general HFB type mean-field states, where all the symmetries like axial symmetry, number conservation, parity and time-reversal invariance are broken. Applying the method, we have microscopically calculated, for the first time, the energy spectra based on the exotic tetrahedral deformation in $^{108,110}$Zr. The nice low-lying rotational spectra, which have all characteristic features of the molecular tetrahedral rotor, are obtained for large tetrahedral deformation, $alpha_{32} gtsim 0.25$, while the spectra are of transitional nature between vibrational and rotational with rather high excitation energies for $alpha_{32}approx 0.1-0.2$
