Abstract
The triaxial rotor model for nuclei is investigated by relaxing the use of irrotational moments of inertia. The dependence of observables of the model on the electric quadrupole tensor, through a triaxiality angle (γ), and on the inertia tensor, through mixing angle, is illustrated. This formalism provides insights into the physics of triaxial rotations in nuclei.
