13 so far we have considered the case where the particle is aligned with the deformation axis: deformation alignement this is also called strong coupling if the coupling is weak: rotation alignment: the Coriolis term aligns the particle angular momentum with the rotational axis H = H sp + H rot = H sp + ħ + j j j term tries to align intrinsic and total spin this is especially important for large j and large in particular: intruder orbitals, e.g. h /, i 3/ large j unique parity in shell pure wave functions 3

14 rotation alignment favored for high spin high particle spin j lower deformation we can have a situation between the two extreme cases need to diagonalize the full particle rotor Hamiltonian 4
