Isotope shift in axially asymmetric nuclei

Abstract

The effect of axial asymmetry on isotope shift, as introduced in the theory of Davydov and Filippov, is investigated and is found to be non-negligible. An accurate experimental study of the isotope shift may therefore provide evidence in favor of or against Davydov-Filippov's theory for deformed nuclei. © 1961 The American Physical Society.
