Abstract
We suggest that, within the framework of the interacting-boson model, the group O(6) of orthogonal transformations in six dimensions may be useful in classifying nuclear spectra at the end of major shells. We derive analytic expressions for the energy levels and electromagnetic transition rates in this limit.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
