S. Raman et al., Quadrupole collectivity of angular-momentum projected states of nucleons in the high-j intruder single-particle states, J PHYS G-NU, 25(4), 1999, pp. 905-907
Ever since the pioneering work of Elliott (Elliott J P 1958 Proc. R. Sec. L
ondon Series A 245 128, 562), quadrupole collectivity in deformed nuclei ha
s been economically described in terms of SU3 symmetry. Microscopic SU3 sym
metry is not present in the deformed intrinsic states of n nucleons in the
abnormal-parity single-particle states j(a). However, such (j(a))(n) stares
do possess some SU3-symmetry-like properties as shown in this work.
