Pseudo-spin Symmetry and Relativistic Single-nucleon Wave Functions

Abstract

We show that the occurrence of approximate pseudo-spin symmetry in nuclei is connected with certain similarities in the relativistic single-nucleon wave functions of the corresponding pseudo-spin doublets. We perform a case study in which several examples and the systematics of this connection are explored.
