4. Several Advantage to SU(3) & SP(3,R) classification of states and operators • Truncation of basis by SU(3) repns. is physical • Straight forward to eliminate spurious states Rcmtransforms as =(1,0) • Most physics operators transform simply under SU(3) Electromagnetic transitions Giant resonances Electron scattering form factors Weak interactions Pion Scattering …

6. Multi-shell calculationspotentiallyplagued with lack ofself-consistencyNeed some constraint onh=2 =(2,0) monopole interactions

7. Amplitude of Symplectic terms determined by h=2,=(2,0) matrix elements h=2, =(2,0)L=0: If no constraints introduced, the amplitude and even the sign of the symplectic terms vary with the oscillator parameter

8. Simple CaseJ=0, T=0 (0+2)h states in 16O Basis: closed shell and 2h [f]=[4444] ()= (4,2), (2,0) Diagonalize (0+2)h space: no h=2 interaction h=2 interaction on MK interaction b=1.7 fm Vary b, get very different answer for 2hw 1p1h amplitudes

9. Problem noted in many multi-h shell calculations Radial (monopole) excitations appear at low-energies though these excitations determined by compressibility of nucleus G.S. energy perturbed very far from 0h position GMR and GQR strong functions of oscillator parameter Solutions proposed: 1. Use weak coupling scheme (diagonalize each h first, then urn on cross-shell interactions)(Ellis + England) 2. Introduce Hartree-Fock-like condition (Arima) Either by choosing a suitable oscillator parameter, or invoking by hand S.S.M. Wong, Phys. Lett 20,188, (1966) P.J. Ellis, L.

15. Sign and Magnitude of cross-shell  Amplitudes determine rate of convergence q=0, determined by total charge q>0, as <r2> increase <=> (e,e’) form factor pulled in in q in-shell contributions to <r2> always adds constructively cross-shell contributions determined by <nh|T+V|n+2h>( • In symplectic model cross-shell constructive, building up collectivity • In numerical diagonalizations, cross-shell difficult to determine • - strongly effect by oscillator parameter • - need Hartree-Fock-like constraint
