Matrix Elements of Random Operators and Discrete Symmetry Breaking in Nuclei

Nuclear Theory 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

It is shown that several effects are responsible for deviations of the intensity distributions from the Porter-Thomas law. Among these are genuine symmetry breaking, such as isospin; the nature of the transition operator; truncation of the Hilbert space in shell model calculations and missing transitions
