Abstract

Quadrupole and hexadecapole moments of superdeformed bands in the $A \sim 150$ mass region have been analyzed in the cranking Skyrme-Hartree-Fock model. It is demonstrated that, independently of the intrinsic configuration and of the proton and neutron numbers, the charge moments calculated with respect to the doubly magic superdeformed core of $^{152} Dy$ can be expressed very precisely in terms of independent contributions from the individual hole and particle orbitals.
