Superdeformed bands in neutron-rich sulfur isotopes suggested by cranked Skyrme–Hartree–Fock calculations Original Research Article

On the basis of the cranked Skyrme–Hartree–Fock calculations in the three-dimensional coordinate-mesh representation, we suggest that, in addition to the well-known candidate 32S, the neutron-rich nucleus 36S and the drip-line nuclei, 48S and 50S, are also good candidates for finding superdeformed rotational bands in sulfur isotopes. Calculated density distributions for the superdeformed states in 48S and 50S exhibit superdeformed neutron skins.
