Quantum Group SU_{q}(2) and Pairing in Nuclei

Abstract

A scheme for treating the pairing of nucleons in terms of generators of Quantum Group SU_{q}(2) is presented. The possible applications to nucleon pairs in a single orbit, multishell case, pairing vibrations and superconducting nuclei are discussed. The formalism for performing BCS calculations with q-deformed nucleon pairs is constructed and the role played by deformation parameter q analyzed in the context of nucleons in a single orbit and for Sn Isotopes.Comment: 6 Pages, No figures, To be published in Proceedings of International Conference "Geometrical Aspects of Quantum Fields", Londrina PR, April 2000, World Scientifi
