Abstract

The rotational symmetry is broken in mean-field models. The symmetry breaking may lead to significant effects even on the ground states of nuclei. The recent observations of enhanced collectivities in neutron-rich Fe and Cr isotopes are challenging the current calculations of mean-field models. By performing angular-momentum projection on mean-field potential energy surface (PES), we can obtain an angular-momentum-conserved PES at each given spin. With the projected PES, we have investigated the collectivity of neutron-rich Fe and Cr isotopes. The calculations reproduce well the excitation energies and electric quadrupole transitions of the collective excited states of the isotopes, indicating the importance of the restoration of the rotational symmetry.
