The interacting boson model P. Van Isacker, GANIL, France Dynamical symmetries of the IBM Neutrons, protons and F-spin (IBM-2) T=0 and T=1 bosons: IBM-3 and IBM-4

The interacting boson model Nuclear collective excitations are described in terms of N s and d bosons. Spectrum generating algebra for the nucleus is U(6). All physical observables (hamiltonian, transition operators, ) are expressed in terms of the generators of U(6). Formally, nuclear structure is reduced to solving the problem of N interacting s and d bosons.

Justifications for the IBM Bosons are associated with fermion pairs which approximately satisfy Bose statistics: 0 0 S + = Âa j a + + j a j Æ s +, D + m = Âa jj ' a + + + j a j' Æ d m j m 2 Microscopic justification: The IBM is a truncation and subsequent bosonization of the shell model in terms of S and D pairs. Macroscopic justification: In the classical limit (N Æ ) the expectation value of the IBM hamiltonian between coherent states reduces to a liquid-drop hamiltonian. jj '

Algebraic structure of the IBM The U(6) algebra consists of the generators U( 6) = { s + s,s + d m,d + m s,d + m d m' }, m,m' = -2,K,+2 The harmonic oscillator in 6 dimensions, H = n s + n d = s + +2 s + Â d + m d m = C 1 U 6 m = -2 has U(6) symmetry since "g i ŒU( 6) : [ H,g i ]= 0 [ ] N Can the U(6) symmetry be lifted while preserving the rotational SO(3) symmetry?

The IBM hamiltonian Rotational invariant hamiltonian with up to N- body interactions (usually up to 2): H IBM = e s n s + e d n d + Â ( b + + i b ) ( L) j b k b l +L u L ijkl ijklj L For what choice of single-boson energies e s and e d and boson-boson interactions u L ijkl is the IBM hamiltonian solvable? This problem is equivalent to the enumeration of all algebras G that satisfy U( 6) G SO( 3) L m = 10 d + d Ï Ì Ó m 1

Dynamical symmetries of the IBM U(6) has the following subalgebras: = d + d U 5 SU 3 SO 6 SO 5 Ï Ì Ó m 0 Ï Ì Ó m 1 = d + d Ï Ì Ó m 1 = d + d Ï Ì Ó m 1 = d + d, d + d m 1, d + d m 2, s + d + d + s m 2 m 2, s + d + d + s, d + d, d + d - 7 Three solvable limits are found: m 3 U( 5) SO( 5) SO( 3) U 6 m 3, d + d d + d 4 SU( 3) SO( 3) SO( 6) SO( 5) SO( 3) U 6 U 6 m 2 m 3, d + d m 4

Dynamical symmetries of the IBM The general IBM hamiltonian is H IBM = e s n s + e d n d + Â ijklj L u ijkl L l ( b + + i b ) ( L) j b k b An entirely equivalent form of H IBM is H IBM = h 1 C 1 U( 6) +k 1 C 2 U( 6) [ ] + h 2 C 1 U 5 The coefficients h i and k j are certain combinations of the coefficients e i and u L ijkl. [ ]+k 0 C [ 1 U 6 ]C 1 U 5 [ ] +k 2 C [ 2 U 5 ] +k 3 C [ 2 SU 3 ] +k 4 C 2 SO( 6) [ ] +k 5 C 2 SO 5 [ ]+k 6 C 2 SO 3 [ ] [ ]

The solvable IBM hamiltonians Without N-dependent terms in the hamiltonian (which are always diagonal) H IBM = h 1 C 1 U( 5) [ ] +k 1 C [ 2 U 5 ] +k 2 C [ 2 SU 3 ] +k 3 C 2 SO( 6) If certain coefficients are zero, H IBM can be written as a sum of commuting operators: H U 5 H SU 3 H SO 6 = h 1 C 1 U 5 [ ] +k 4 C [ 2 SO 5 ] +k 5 C [ 2 SO 3 ] =k 2 C 2 SU 3 [ ] +k 1 C [ 2 U 5 ] +k 4 C [ 2 SO 5 ] +k 5 C [ 2 SO 3 ] = k 3 C 2 SO 6 [ ] +k 5 C [ 2 SO 3 ] [ ] +k 4 C 2 SO 5 [ ]+k 5 C 2 SO 3 [ ]
