The IBA-1 is reviewed with particular emphasis on the symmetry structure that arises
naturally from its inherently algebraic approach. The formulation of the model, in both its …

The concept of boson realization (or map**) of Lie algebras appeared first in nuclear
physics in 1962 as the idea of expanding bilinear forms in fermion creation and annihilation …

The interacting boson model was introduced in 1974 as an attempt to describe collective
properties of nuclei in a unified way. Since 1974, the model has been the subject of many …

We discuss a third limit of the interacting boson model. We show that this limit is associated
with the group O (6) of orthogonal transformations in six dimensions. We derive, within the …

We present an approximation scheme for calculating spectra in heavy even-even nuclei. In
this scheme, we first truncate the large shell model space and then map the truncated space …

The effective interaction GXPF1 for shell-model calculations in the full pf shell is tested in
detail from various viewpoints such as binding energies, electromagnetic moments and …

The interacting boson-fermion model has become in recent years the standard model for the
description of atomic nuclei with an odd number of protons and/or neutrons. This book …

applications to the structure of atomic nuclei. The author systematically develops these
models from the elementary level, through an introduction to tensor algebra, to the use of …

The basic assumption in the nuclear shell model is that, to first order, each nucleon (proton
or neutron) is moving in an independent way in an average field. This is not so, a priori …

A unified shell-model description of nuclear deformation valid throughout the periodic table
is presented. Microscopic calculations for the Zr and Mo isotopes are carried out in the …
