As an application we study linear-chain states of four a particles in variation-after-projection calculations in which all the matrix elements are evaluated analytically. We find possible chain states for J(pi) = 0(+), 2(+), 4(+) and perhaps 6(+) with the bandhead energy being about 33 MeV from the ground state of O-16. No chain states with J >= 8 are found. The nature of the rotational sequence of the chain states is clarified in contrast to a rigid-body rotation. The quadrupole deformation parameters estimated from the chain states increase from 0.59 to 1.07 for 2(+) to 6(+). This work suggests undeveloped fields for the correlated Gaussians beyond those problems which have hitherto been solved successfully.American Physical Society (APS)2017-04-24engjournal articleVoRhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/66294https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevC.95.0443202469-9985Physical review C95444320https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/66294/1/PhysRevC95%20044320.pdfapplication/pdf404.07 KB2017-04-24
