Application of a Two-Parameter Quantum Algebra to Rotational Spectroscopy of Nuclei

Abstract

A two-parameter quantum algebra $U_{qp}({\mathrm{u}}_2)$ is briefly investigated in this paper. The basic ingredients of a model based on the $U_{qp}({\mathrm{u}}_2)$ symmetry, the $qp$-rotator model, are presented in detail. Some general tendencies arising from the application of this model to the description of rotational bands of various atomic nuclei are summarized.
