Prolate dominance and prolate-oblate shape transition in the proxy-SU(3) model
Dennis Bonatsos, I. E. Assimakis, N. Minkov +5
Using a new approximate analytic parameter-free proxy-SU(3) scheme, we make simple predictions for the global feature of prolate dominance in deformed nuclei and the locus of the p…
Parameter-independent predictions for shape variables of heavy deformed nuclei in the proxy-SU(3) model
Dennis Bonatsos, I. E. Assimakis, N. Minkov +5
Using a new approximate analytic parameter-free proxy-SU(3) scheme, we make predictions of shape observables for deformed nuclei, namely beta and gamma deformation variables, and c…
Proxy-SU(3) symmetry in heavy nuclei: Foundations
Dennis Bonatsos, I. E. Assimakis, N. Minkov +4
An approximate SU(3) symmetry appears in heavy deformed even-even nuclei, by omitting the intruder Nilsson orbital of highest total angular momentum and replacing the rest of the i…
A symmetry for heavy nuclei: Proxy-SU(3)
Dennis Bonatsos, I. E. Assimakis, N. Minkov +4
The SU(3) symmetry realized by J. P. Elliott in the sd nuclear shell is destroyed in heavier shells by the strong spin-orbit interaction. However, the SU(3) symmetry has been used…
Analytic predictions for nuclear shapes, the prolate dominance and the prolate-oblate shape transition in the proxy-SU(3) model
Dennis Bonatsos, I. E. Assimakis, N. Minkov +5
Using a new approximate analytic parameter-free proxy-SU(3) scheme, we make simple predictions of shape observables for deformed nuclei, namely gamma and beta deformation variables…
Proxy-SU(3) symmetry in heavy deformed nuclei
Dennis Bonatsos, I. E. Assimakis, N. Minkov +4
Background: Microscopic calculations of heavy nuclei face considerable difficulties due to the sizes of the matrices that need to be solved. Various approximation schemes have been…
