Description

We present the results of fully self-consistent RPA calculation for low-frequency negative-parity modes built on superdeformed states in the 40Ca region. The RPA calculation was carried out using the mixed representation on the three-dimensional Cartesian mesh in a box. The SD shell structure provides a very favorable situation for octupole shape fluctuations, and we show that the coherent excitation of protons and neutrons play an important role in the emergence of strongly collective octupole vibrations built on the SD states in the N=Z nuclei, 32S, 36Ar, 40Ca and 44Ti. In particular, the calculation suggests that a low-frequency, strongly collective Kπ=1- octupole vibration appears on the SD state in 40Ca. (orig.)
