Strongly collective $K^{\\pi}=0^{+}$ and $2^{+}$ excitation modes carrying 10-20 Weisskopf units in the intrinsic isoscalar quadrupole transition strengths are obtained at about 3 MeV. There are two reasons for the enhancement of the transition strengths. First, the quasiparticle wave functions generating these modes possess spatially very extended structure. The asymptotic selection rules characterizing the $\\beta$ and $\\gamma$ vibrations in stable deformed nuclei are thus strongly violated. Second, the dynamic pairing effects act strongly to enhance the collectivity of these modes. It is suggested that the lowest $K^{\\pi}=0^{+}$ collective mode is a particularly sensitive indicator of the nature of pairing correlations in deformed nuclei close to the neutron drip line.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-05-27T12:45:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "21.10.Re", "21.60.Ev", "21.60.Jz" ], "keywords": [ "neutron drip line", "deformed mg isotopes close", "low-frequency quadrupole vibrations", "continuum effects", "isoscalar quadrupole transition strengths" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Nucl.
