Oblate high spin isomer

Energies of high spin states are calculated with the use of an oblate deformed oscillator potential with the purpose of finding possible yrast traps or isomers. Pairing forces are included and different methods of solving the pairing Hamiltonian (including the exact solution) are compared. The stability of the oblate regime against gamma vibrations is investigated with use of the random phase approximation. Pairing forces are included also here.
