Semimicroscopic description of giant octupole resonances in deformed nuclei

The strength functions b(E3, ω) are calculated, and the positions and widths of giant octupole resonances in deformed nuclei are found. It is shown that the giant octupole isoscalar resonances have energies (19–20) MeV for the rare-earth nuclei and (17–18) MeV for the actinides and the widths (5–7) MeV. The energies of the giant octupole isovector resonances are defined by the value of the isovector constant κ⁽³⁾₁.
