Calculation of the multipole moment Q22

In version (v1.60r) of the code HFODD, a factor of $\sqrt{6}$ was missing in the values of the multipole moment Q22 printed on the output file.

Values of the quadrupole moments Q20 and Q22 depend on the normalization factors which in the standard nuclear-physics applications are different than those used in electrodynamics, cf. Ref. [4]. In particular, the code HFODD (v1.75r) uses the normalization factors such that   \begin{eqnalphalabel}% latex2html id marker 1161
{eq606}
Q_{20}&=&\langle 2z^2 ...
...dtocounter{equation}{-1}
Q_{22}&=&Q_{20}\times\tan\gamma
,
\end{eqnalphalabel}where $\gamma$ is the standard angle measuring the non-axial quadrupole deformation [5].
