Mean-field approach to superdeformed high-spin states in 40Ca and   neutron-rich 50S regions
  With the use of the symmetry-unrestricted cranked SHF method in the 3D coordinate-mesh representation, a systematic search for the SD and HD rotational bands in the N=Z nuclei from 32S to 48Cr has been done, and SD and HD solutions have been found in 32S, 36Ar, 40Ca, 44Ti, and in 36Ar, 40Ca, 44Ti, 48Cr, respectively. The SD band in 40Ca is found to be extremely soft against both the axially symmetric (Y30) and asymmetric (Y31) octupole deformations. Possible presense of SD states in neutron-rich sulfur isotopes from 46S to 52S has also been investigated, and deformation properties of neutron skins both in the ground and SD states are discussed.
