B. Decroix et al., SU(4) SYMMETRY IN THE EXTENDED PROTON-NEUTRON INTERACTING BOSON MODEL- MULTIPLETS AND SYMMETRY-BREAKING, Physics letters. Section B, 439(3-4), 1998, pp. 237-242
The manifestation of SU(4) symmetry within an interacting boson model
including particle-like and hole-like pi- and v-bosons is shown for Li
ght nuclei around the Z = N = 8 shell. We also present a consistent de
scription of the particle-hole (intruder spin or I spin) multiplets in
the Extended Interacting Boson Model (EIBM) and of pi-nu (F spin) mul
tiplets in the IBM-2 as a breaking of this SU(4) symmetry. (C) 1998 El
