Relativistic Mean Field Description of Nuclear Collective Rotation -The Superdeformed Rotational Bands in the A$\sim$60 Mass Region-

Abstract

Relativistic Mean Field Theory is applied to the description of rotating nuclei. Since the previous formulation of Munich group was based on a special relativistic transformation property of the spinor fields, we reformulate in a fully covariant manner using tetrad formalism. The numerical calculations are performed for 3 zinc isotopes, including the newly discovered superdeformed band in ${}^{62}$Zn which is the first experimental observation in this mass region.
