Hidden pseudospin and spin symmetries and their origins in atomic nuclei

H Liang, J Meng, SG Zhou - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
Symmetry plays a fundamental role in physics. The quasi-degeneracy between single-
particle orbitals (n, l, j= l+ 1/2) and (n− 1, l+ 2, j= l+ 3/2) indicates a hidden symmetry in …

We explore spin and pseudospin symmetries in the single-Λ spectrum within the framework
of relativistic mean-field theory. We find that the spin symmetry of the single-Λ spectrum …

Pseudospin symmetry in single-particle resonances in spherical square wells

BN Lu, EG Zhao, SG Zhou - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2013 - APS
Background: The pseudospin symmetry (PSS) has been studied extensively for bound
states. Recently, we justified rigorously that the PSS in single-particle resonant states is …

Conservation and breaking of pseudospin symmetry

TT Sun, ZP Li, P Ring - Physics Letters B, 2023 - Elsevier
Pseudospin symmetry (PSS) is a relativistic dynamical symmetry connected with the lower
component of the Dirac spinor. Here, we investigate the conservation and breaking of PSS …
