Abstract
The pairing-plus-quadrupole model, realized in the framework of the El liott SU(3) scheme, is used to study the combined effects of the quadr upole-quadrupole, pairing, and spin-orbit interactions on ground state shapes of nuclear systems. Relevant measures for nuclear deformation are reviewed. Representation mixing induced by the symmetry-breaking p airing and spin-orbit forces is shown to soften the deformation. The a ngular momentum dependence of the results is discussed. (C) 1998 Elsev ier Science B.V.
