摘要
The tunneling process that governs the decay from superdeformed to normal-deformed nuclear states is shown to be enhanced by several orders of magnitude (10(4)-10(6)) if the normal-deformed states are chaotic at the moment of decay out. The onset of (long-range) chaos may imply that the tunneling enhancement increases with decreasing angular momentum. Experimental signatures are discussed.
