The quadrupole collective model from a Cartan-Weyl perspective
arXiv:0710.5570 · doi:10.1088/1751-8113/41/30/304039
Abstract
The matrix elements of the quadrupole variables and canonic conjugate momenta, emerging from collective nuclear models are calculated within a basis. Using a harmonic oscillator implementation of the SU(1,1) degree of freedom, it can be shown that the matrix elements of the quadrupole phonon creation and annihilation operators can be calculated in a pure algebraic way, making use of an intermediate state method.
