Abstract: (Elsevier)
We investigate octupole correlations at strongly elongated (axis ratio close to 2:1) quadropole shapes in the HgPB region including nonaxial components of the octupole mean field. Within the cranked Strutinsky method we find the variation of octupole stiffness with rotational frequency and with the aid of cranking mass parameters we estimate octupole vibration frequencies. The strongest octupole effects are predicted due to the μ = 0 and 2 components of the octupole tensor, the estimated oscillation frequencies ranging from 1.1 to 1.6 MeV.
