The role of pairing correlations for the description of $\beta$ vibrations at superdeformed shapes

Abstract

In this paper we analyze the possibility of the appearance of quadrupole vibrational states in superdeformed nuclei from the $A\approx 150$ region. We discuss the role of pairing correlations for a proper description of quadrupole vibrations, especially of the $\beta$ type.
