The Role of the Pauli Exclusion Principle in Nuclear Physics Models
The Pauli Exclusion Principle (PEP) is one of the most basic concepts in physics, but also the most difficult to implement in many-fermion systems, which are common in nuclear physics. To investigate the consequences of ignoring the PEP, we discuss several algebraic models in nuclear structure physi...

| description | The Pauli Exclusion Principle (PEP) is one of the most basic concepts in physics, but also the most difficult to implement in many-fermion systems, which are common in nuclear physics. To investigate the consequences of ignoring the PEP, we discuss several algebraic models in nuclear structure physics, in particular cluster models. Sometimes they tend to ignore the Pauli Exclusion Principle for practical reasons, leading to flawed interpretations. Though at first sight there seems to be an agreement to experiment, often it is due to the limited number of states known experimentally. We discuss several models which include or not the PEP, illustrating through their differences the importance of the PEP. This contribution is also a review of recently published results. |
