ABSTRACT

In Chapter 8 we introduced the SOsdST (36) ⊃ SOsST (6) ⊕ SOdST (30) limit of sdIBM-ST model and using the results in the exact symmetry limit, argued that this limit is quite appropriate for heavy N=Z nuclei. In order to incorporate the effects due to the competition between T = 0 and T = 1 pairing, one has to go beyond the symmetry limit and perform mixing calculations. Results of mixing calculations for various observables using a simple mixing Hamiltonian are presented in this Chapter. Before going further let us mention that all the discussion in this Chapter is for N=Z nuclei and therefore quite often we will drop ‘N=Z.’ Also, whenever convenient we use e-e for even-even and o-o for odd-odd. Thus e-e nuclei means even-even N=Z nuclei and similarly o-o means odd-odd N=Z nuclei.
