A Symmetry In-between the Shapes, Shells, and Clusters of Nuclei

The multiconfigurational dynamical symmetry (MUSY) connects the shell, collective, and cluster models of atomic nuclei for the case of multi-shell excitations. Therefore, it can give a unified description of various phenomena. The shape isomers are obtained from the investigation of the stability an...

description The multiconfigurational dynamical symmetry (MUSY) connects the shell, collective, and cluster models of atomic nuclei for the case of multi-shell excitations. Therefore, it can give a unified description of various phenomena. The shape isomers are obtained from the investigation of the stability and consistency of the symmetry, and selection rules connect them to the possible cluster configurations and the related reaction channels. A simple, dynamically symmetric Hamiltonian turns out to be able to provide a unified description of the gross features of spectra of different regions of excitation energy and deformation. Some predictions of MUSY have been justified by experimental observations.
