Title: F-spin symmetric limits of the neutron-proton interacting boson model

Journal Article · · Ann. Phys. (N.Y.); (United States)

The F-spin symmetric limits U(5), SU(3), and O(6) of the neutron-proton interacting boson model are studied. The conditions for and consequences of F-spin symmetry are investigated. In each of the three limits closed expressions for the following properties are given: the excitation energies; the M1, E2, and M3 excitation strengths from the ground state to all 1/sup +/, 2/sup +/, and 3/sup +/ states; the M1 and E2 decay of the nonsymmetric 1/sup +/ and 2/sup +/ states; and the dipole and quadrupole moments of maximal F-spin states and of the nonsymmetric 1/sup +/ and 2/sup +/ states. The predictions for these properties are compared with the experimental data.
