Parameter-independent predictions for nuclear shapes and B(E2) transition rates in the proxy-SU(3) model
A. Martinou, S. Peroulis, D. Bonatsos +6
Using a new approximate analytic parameter-free proxy-SU(3) scheme, we make predictions of shape observables for actinides and superheavy elements, namely beta and gamma deformatio…
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…
Proxy-SU(3): A symmetry for heavy nuclei
D. Bonatsos, I. E. Assimakis, N. Minkov +6
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. On the other hand, the SU(3) symmetry has…
Proxy-SU(3) symmetry in heavy nuclei: Prolate dominance and prolate-oblate shape transition
S. Sarantopoulou, D. Bonatsos, I. E. Assimakis +5
Using a new approximate analytic parameter-free proxy-SU(3) scheme, simple predictions for the global feature of prolate dominance and for the locus of the prolate-oblate shape tra…

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…

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…
Emergent Collectivity in Nuclei and Enhanced Proton-Neutron Interactions
Dennis Bonatsos, S. Karampagia, R. B. Cakirli +3
Enhanced proton-neutron interactions occur in heavy nuclei along a trajectory of approximately equal numbers of valence protons and neutrons. This is also closely aligned with the…
