Tidal waves Yrast mode in soft nuclei at low and high spin Angular momentum generated by shape change at nearly constant angular velocity. Shape change: Axial, triaxial quadrupole, orientation, octupole … Rotating mean field gives a reliable microscopic description No new parameters Experimental rotational frequency well defined
