Electric moments
El moment
Since the El operator is an odd function of r if l is odd the moment is Zero for diagonal matrix elements (unless P T are violated see later)
Non-zero for transition matrix elements if yn has opposite parity to ym
Peter Butler
Macroscopic contribution to E1 moment
= a AZ (charge) ndash b (N-Z) (neutron skin)
= 01 efm for 224Ra

SummaryStrong circumstantial evidence that some nuclei are pear-shaped
Best evidence comes from behaviour of energy levels and B(E3)s Wide discrepancy of theories for this quantity
Odd mass octupole-deformed nuclei offer greatly increased sensitivity for EDM searches

SummaryStrong circumstantial evidence that some nuclei are pear-shaped
Best evidence comes from behaviour of energy levels and B(E3)s Wide discrepancy of theories for this quantity
Odd mass octupole-deformed nuclei offer greatly increased sensitivity for EDM searches
