''Hyperdeformed'' nuclei in the light Hg region

Description

The possibility that shell structure related to double-spherical shapes may produce new regions of superdeformed or ''hyperdeformed'' nuclei is discussed. Of special interest is the mass region around 180Hg (90Zr+90Zr) which is studied in detail. Extended cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations are performed with the Woods-Saxon potential and finite-range liquid-drop model, and ''hyperdeformations'' with β2∼0.74 and β4∼0 are predicted to become yrast at around I=52 ℎ. Detailed spectroscopic properties are calculated. (orig.)
