Generalised octupole shapes Rotating even-even nucleiOdd electric momentsOdd-mass nuclei amp EDMs

Pear-shaped nuclei

Electric moments

El moment

Since the El operator is an odd function of r if l is odd the moment is Zero for diagonal matrix elements (unless P T are violated see later)

Non-zero for transition matrix elements if yn has opposite parity to ym

Peter Butler

Macroscopic contribution to E1 moment

= a AZ (charge) ndash b (N-Z) (neutron skin)

= 01 efm for 224Ra

Microscopic contribution to E1 moment

= -01 efm for 224Ra

SummaryStrong circumstantial evidence that some nuclei are pear-shaped

Best evidence comes from behaviour of energy levels and B(E3)s Wide discrepancy of theories for this quantity

Odd mass octupole-deformed nuclei offer greatly increased sensitivity for EDM searches

SummaryStrong circumstantial evidence that some nuclei are pear-shaped

Best evidence comes from behaviour of energy levels and B(E3)s Wide discrepancy of theories for this quantity

Odd mass octupole-deformed nuclei offer greatly increased sensitivity for EDM searches
