Shell Model Symmetries-Honoring Franco Iachello

Abstract

We discuss L=0 vs L=2 couplings, symmetries of the pairing interaction for neutrons and protons, and the J_{max} interaction. We show that certain schematic interactions yield exponentially decreasing transition strengths.We compare shell model calculations of B(E2)'s and quadrupole moments in the p-f shell with collective model results.
