Interacting boson models of nuclear and nucleon structure
arXiv:nucl-th/9801054
Abstract
Interacting boson models provide an elegant and powerful method to describe collective excitations of complex systems by introducing a set of effective degrees of freedom. We review the interacting boson model of nuclear structure and discuss a recent extension to the nucleon and its excited states.
