Abstract

Polarization effects due to the interaction between two complex nuclei are investigated in the rotating frame whose z-axis lies in the direction connecting the two nuclei. This allows one to define intrinsic states of the dinuclear system including these polarization effects. We present here a modified coupled-channel formalism whose basis states are these intrinsic states. Results on energy shifts and particle density and B(E2) value modifications in a schematic microscopic model are presented and compared with those of the phenomenological surface-vibrational model. In the case of the rotational model the influence of the nucleus-nucleus interaction on the directivity of nuclear symmetry axes is also analyzed.
