Achnanthidium delmontii sp. nov., a new species from French rivers
A new freshwater diatom species belonging to the genus Achnanthidium Kütz. has been found in several
French rivers namely those of the Languedoc–Roussillon and Rhin–Meuse regions. Achnanthidium delmontii sp.
nov. is described based on light and scanning electron microscopy observations. This species belongs to the group
of Achnanthidium taxa with terminal raphe fissures curved to the same side of the valve and it is compared to the
most related species: Achnanthidium pfisteri Lange–Bertalot, Achnanthidium pyrenaicum (Husdedt) Kobayasi,
Achnanthidium temniskovae Ivanov et Ector and Achnanthidium zhakovschikovii Potapova. The assessment of its
ecology was made through physicochemical analysis carried out on sites which are part of water quality monitoring
networks. Some comments are made on the rapid expansion of Achnanthidium delmontii sp. nov
Collective Path Connecting the Oblate and Prolate Local Minima in 68Se
By means of the adiabatic self-consistent collective coordinate method and
the pairing plus quadrupole interaction, we have obtained the selfconsistent
collective path connecting the oblate and prolate local minima in 68Se for the
first time. Along the collective path, the triaxial deformation parameter
(gamma) changes between 0 and 60 (degree) keeping the axially symmetric
deformation parameter (beta) approximately constant, indicating the importance
of triaxial deformation dynamics in the oblate-prolate shape coexistence
phenomena.Comment: 6 pages including 6 eps figure
Application of the Adiabatic Selfconsistent-Collective-Coordinate Method to a Solvable Model of Prolate-Oblate Shape Coexistence
The adiabatic selfconsistent collective coordinate method is applied to an
exactly solvable multi-O(4) model which simulates nuclear shape coexistence
phenomena. Collective mass and dynamics of large amplitude collective motions
in this model system are analysed, and it is shown that the method can well
describe the tunneling motions through the barrier between the prolate and
oblate local minima in the collective potential. Emergence of the doublet
pattern is well reproduced.Comment: 25 pages including 9 figure
Collective Paths Connecting the Oblate and Prolate Shapes in 68Se and 72Kr Suggested by the Adiabatic Self-Consistent Collective Coordinate Method
By means of the adiabatic self-consistent collective coordinate method and
the pairing-plus-quadrupole interaction, we have obtained the self-consistent
collective path connecting the oblate and prolate local minima in 68Se and 72Kr
for the first time. The self-consistent collective path is found to run
approximately along the valley connecting the oblate and prolate local minima
in the collective potential energy landscape. This result of calculation
clearly indicates the importance of triaxial deformation dynamics in
oblate-prolate shape coexistence phenomena.Comment: 24 pages including 5 figure
