Abstract

We observe an adiabatic separation of collective rotations built upon a subset of intrinsic vibrational states within the interacting boson model (IBM) in the parameter domains corresponding to axially deformed ground state. The effect is not limited only to the low-lying states and closely follows the variation of quantum and classical measures of regularity.

It leads to the existence of rotational bands even close to the highest accessible energies in specific regions within the IBM symmetry triangle. We propose a more general effect of regular intrinsic dynamics on the adiabatic separation of intrinsic and collective motion.
