A new scheme for heavy nuclei: proxy-SU(3)
D. Bonatsos, R. F. Casten, A. Martinou +5
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…
Parameter free predictions within the proxy-SU(3) model
A. Martinou, D. Bonatsos, I. E. Assimakis +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…
Foundations of the proxy-SU(3) symmetry in heavy nuclei
I. E. Assimakis, D. Bonatsos, N. Minkov +4
We show that within the proxy-SU(3) scheme the wave functions of the normal parity orbitals in a given nuclear shell are affected very little as a result of the replacement of the…
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…
