Quadrupole Deformation of a Nuclear Structure

[Raj A Malhotra]

Please tell me what is the quadrupole deformation of a nucleus?

Perhaps this will help with the discussion.

Is one familiar with nuclear quadrupole moment?

hello
I m new in this forum . I m also study in Nuclear Physics.now I confuse about scattering matrix unitary,could u explain me.I m so weak in numerical technique.

The quadrupole moment measures deformation from purely spherical.
An elongated shape (like an American footbal) has a positive quadupole moment.
A squashed shape (like a pancake) has a negaive quadrupole moment.
