Description

I will present two subjects on deformed shapes. The first subject is recent findings about the superdeformed band in 62Ni and its evolution in more neutron-rich exotic isotopes.
While this band has been known for higher spins [1], its band members down to 0 have been recently clarified theoretically and experimentally with advanced methodologies on both sides [2]. It is a triaxial band as demonstrated by Monte Carlo Shell Model calculation [3], and the J=0+ state is identified though fragmentated, as experimentally confirmed in Bucharest and Grenoble. This band follows type-1 and -2 shell evolution scenarios [4,5] to come down in energy up to 70Ni [3,6-8].

The second subject is about the time evolution of an intrinsic state contained in an eigenstate in the laboratory frame, which is isotropically superposed for J=0. It will be shown how this intrinsic state remains or changes as time goes by, with remarkable features with "standing time" concept [9]. This may open new scopes to reactions such as fusion and fission (all in favor), as well as the shape measurement by Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collision, providing a feasibility argument.
