    The nuclear shell model: Simplicity from complexity

    The shell model of atomic nuclei has been in intensive use since the middle of the previous century. This simple model of very complex nuclei, offers a quantitative description of its many features. Other feat...

    Shell Model Structure of the Interacting Boson Model and the Interacting Boson Fermion Model

    Nuclei are very complex systems composed of a large number of strongly interacting protons and neutrons. One could expect that such systems will have extremely complicated and unwieldy level spectra. However, ...

    Shell Model Origin of the Fermion-Boson Exchange Interaction

    The interacting boson model has been very successful in the description of collective bands in many nucleil). The various limits of collective spectra2) as well as the transitions between them3) are very well acc...

    Some Recent Developments in Nuclear Models

    The shell model has been very effective in calculating states of simple configurations. For more complex cases it cannot be used unless a good truncation or coupling scheme is introduced. Such coupling scheme ...

    Shell Model Description of Interacting Bosons

    The interacting boson model1,2 gives a very good and unified description of collective states in medium and heavy nuclei. The Hamiltonian of this model conserves the number of bosons which suggests that they repr...
