摘要

The essential point of Bohr-Mottelson theory is to assume an irrotational flow. As was already suggested by Marumori and Watanabe, the internal rotational motion, i.e., the vortex motion, however, may exist also in nuclei. So, we must take the vortex motion into consideration. In classical fluid dynamics, there are various ways to treat the internal rotational velocity. The Clebsch representation, v(x) = -del phi(x) +lambda(x)del psi(x)(phi; velocity potential, lambda and psi : Clebsch parameters) is very powerful and allows for the derivation of the equations of fluid motion from a Lagrangian. Making the best use of this advantage, Kronig-Thellung, Ziman and Ito obtained a Hamiltonian including the internal rotational motion, the vortex motion, through the term lambda(x)del psi(x). Going to quantum fluid dynamics, Ziman and Thellung finally derived the roton spectrum of liquid Helium II postulated by Landau. Is it possible to follow a similar procedure in the description of the collective vortex motion in nuclei? The description of such a collective motion has not been considered in the context of the Bohr-Mottelson model (BMM) for a long time. In this paper, we will investigate the possibility of describing the vortex motion in nuclei on the basis of the theories of Ziman and Ito together with Marumori's work.
