Influence of Quadrupole Pairing on the Variation of J⁽²⁾ of the Superdeformed Band ¹⁹⁴Hg(1)

Using the particle-number-conserving method we show that the observed downturn of J⁽²⁾ of the superdeformed band ¹⁹⁴Hg(1) can be satisfactorily accounted for, provided that both the monopole and quadrupole pairing interaction are included in the cranked shell model Hamiltonian.
