Title: Algebraic approach to vibrational collective motion in a model with both collective and noncollective degrees of freedom

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)

An algebraic approach, within a framework using equations of motion, is applied to the study of vibrational collective motion in exactly soluble shell models with symmetry R(5) and R(5) +- R(5). The latter exhibits two phonon branches, permitting the study of the effect of the noncollective on the collective branch. The results of this method, including the splitting of the two-phonon degeneracy, agree satisfactorily with exact results for a range of parameters well into the transition region between vibrational and rotational motion.
