“…The transition from octupole deformation to octupole vibrations can also be seen by considering the simplest quantity measuring the relative displacement of the negative-parity [32], 232 Th [32,33], and 234 Th [32], compared to theoretical predictions for φ = 45 • and φ = 60 • . (b) Same as (a) but for 218 Ra [34,35], 220 Ra [27], 222 Ra [32,36], 224 Ra [32,36], 226 Ra [32,36], and 228 Ra [32], compared to theoretical predictions for φ = 45 • and φ = 56 • .…”
