Pseudospin symmetry in resonant states in deformed nucleus 154Dy

Abstract

It is known that pseudospin symmetry plays a crucial role in formation of many physical phenomena. By combining the relativistic mean field theory with the complex momentum representation method, the pseudospin symmetry in the single particle resonant states in the deformed nucleus [Formula: see text]Dy is investigated through the energy and width splittings, the quadrupole deformation parameter, the radial density distributions and occupation probabilities of the pseudospin doublets. Near the continuum threshold, the pseudospin symmetry is well reserved in both bound and resonant states. The energy and width splittings of pseudospin doublets in resonant states exhibit correlations with the deformation and quantum numbers. The good pseudospin symmetry is expected with lower pseudo-orbital angular momentum projection [Formula: see text] and the main quantum number N. In general, an increase in deformation tends to weaken the quality of the pseudospin symmetry. The understanding of the evolution of the pseudospin doublets in the resonant states has been deepened by studying the pseudospin symmetry in the deformed nuclei.
