FERMION REALIZATION OF THE NUCLEAR SP(6,R) MODEL

A fermion realization of the nuclear Sp(6,R) model, which complements the traditional bosonic representation, is developed. A recursive proc ess is presented in which symplectic matrix elements of arbitrary one- body fermion operators between states of excitation N (H) over bar ome ga and N'(H) over bar omega in the same or in different symplectic ban ds are related back to valence shell matrix elements, which can be eva luated by standard shell model techniques. Matrix elements so determin ed may be used to calculate observables such as electron scattering fo rm factors which carry detailed structural information on nuclear wave functions.
