Superdeformations in Relativistic and Non-Relativistic Mean Field Theories

/ Abstract
The applications of the extensions of relativistic mean field (RMF) theory to the rotating frame, such as cranked relativistic mean field (CRMF) theory and cranked relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (CRHB) theory, for the description of superdeformed bands in the A ∼ 60, 140 − 150 and 190 mass regions are overviewed and compared briefly with the results obtained in non-relativistic mean field theories.
