A symmetry for heavy nuclei: Proxy-SU(3) (1706.05808v1)
Published 19 Jun 2017 in nucl-th
Abstract: The SU(3) symmetry realized by J. P. Elliott in the sd nuclear shell is destroyed in heavier shells by the strong spin-orbit interaction. However, the SU(3) symmetry has been used for the description of heavy nuclei in terms of bosons in the framework of the Interacting Boson Approximation, as well as in terms of fermions using the pseudo-SU(3) approximation. We introduce a new fermionic approximation, called the proxy-SU(3), and we comment on its similarities and differences with the other approaches.
