Algebraic approaches to nuclear structure
Abstract
The concept and application of algebraic models to nuclear structure is surveyed with emphasis on interpretations in terms of traditional geometric models. Recent studies relating to the relationship between (beta) and (gamma) vibrations in deformed nuclei, to the rigidity or softness of axial asymmetry, to signature splitting in octupole excitations, to O(6) quantum numbers and multi-phonon excitations, and to pseudo-SU(3) are discussed.
