Abstract

Electric dipole moments are extracted from data for E1 transitions deexciting octupole vibration states in nineteen nuclei. The moments are then compared to values calculated using the droplet model prescription of Dorso, Myers, and Swiatecki. It is found that the E1 moments in quadrupole deformed nuclei can be reproduced with the droplet model using the same model parameters that reproduce atomic masses and fission barriers. This result supports the suggestion of Butler and Nazarewicz that single particle effects are usually much smaller than macroscopic effects in E1 transitions associated with octupole vibrations in reflection symmetric deformed nuclei.
