Abstract

The electric hexadecapole moments Q(4) of atomic nuclei are investigated on the basis of three nuclear models, i. e., shell, liquid drop, and collective models. The effect of the deformed core on this higher moment is discussed in detail. It is shown that experimental values of Q(4) shall be used to test the validity of the collective model (Bohr-Mottelson's theory), and the core part of Q(4) is useful to derive information about the core deformation of order 4.
