  1. Principals Students Group Theory Methods (Nuclear Shell Model) J. P. Draayer, J. G. Hirsch, Feng Pan, A. I. Gueorguieva C. Bahri, G. Popa, G. Stoitcheva V. G. Gueorguiev, K. D. Sviracheva, K. Drumev H. Ganev, H. Matevosyan, H. Grigoryan Abstract: While large-scale shell-model calculations may be useful, perhaps even essential, for reproducing experimental data, insight into the physical underpinnings of many-body phenomena requires a deeper appreciation of the underlying symmetries or near-symmetries of a system. Our program is focused on standard as well as novel algebraic approaches to nuclear structure … many-body shell-model methods within a group theoretical framework.

  29. Some Observations • Scissors mode (proton-neutron) oscillation always exists in deformed systems • Extra “twist” mode if triaxial proton or neutron distributions are included • Fragmentation can be interpreted as effect of non-collective residual interactions • Gross structure reproduced by adding a new “twist” to the “scissors” system • Triaxial proton-neutron configuration gives a physical interpretation of multiplicity • Analytic results for scissors as well as twist modes and combination now available • Future research with S=1 mode for odd-A as well as even-even nuclei underway Scissors Twist

  30. Conclusions - Part 1: E2 / M1 modes ... • Near perfect excitation spectra … • B(E2) values good (effective charge) … • Scissors mode always present … • Twist mode(s) requires triaxiality … • Fragmentation via symmetry mixing ... EXCITING (simple) PHYSICS!

  33. Usual Shell-Model Approach • Select a model space based on a simple approximation (e.g. Nilsson scheme) for the selection of basis states. • Diagonalize a realistic Hamiltonian in the model space to obtain the the energy spectrum and eigenstates. • Evaluate electromagnetic transition strengths (E2, M1, etc.) and compare the results with experimental data. Dual Basis “Mixed Mode” Scheme • Select a dual (non-orthonormal) basis (e.g. pairing plus quadrupole scheme) for the interaction Hamiltonian. • Diagonalize a realistic Hamiltonian in the model space to obtain the the energy spectrum and eigenstates. • Evaluate electromagnetic transition strengths (E2, M1, etc.) and compare the results with experimental data.

  35. Shell-Model Hamiltonian • Spherical shell-model basis states are eigenstates of the one-body part of the Hamiltonian - single-particle states. • The two-body part of the Hamiltonian H is dominated by the quadrupole-quadrupole interaction Q·Q ~ C2 of SU(3). • SU(3) basis states - collective states - are eigenstates of H for degenerate single particle energies  and a pure Q·Q interaction.
