Abstract

Applications of the proxy-SU(3)SU(3) model of Bonatsos and collaborators to nuclei in A=60-90 region introduces proxy-SU(4)SU(4) symmetry. Shell model spaces with single particle (sp) orbits 1p3/2^1p_{3/2}, 1p1/2^1p_{1/2}, 0f5/2^0f_{5/2} and 0g9/2^0g_{9/2} are essential for these nuclei and also protons and neutrons in this region occupy the same sp orbits. With this and applying the "proxy scheme", the 0g9/2^0g_{9/2} changes to 0f7/2^0f_{7/2} giving the SGA U(40)[U(10)GSO(3)][SU(4)SUS(2)SUT(2)]U(40) \supset [U(10) \supset G \supset SO(3)] \otimes [SU(4) \supset SU_S(2) \otimes SU_T(2)]. With G=SU(3)G=SU(3), we have the proxy-SU(3)SU(3) model. It is easy to see that proxy-SU(3)SU(3) symmetry implies goodness of the SU(4)SU(4) symmetry appearing above, i.e. proxy-SU(4)SU(4) symmetry. Shell model calculations pointing out the need for 0g9/2^0g_{9/2} orbit, ground state masses, shape changes and shape co-existence in A=60-90 region and GT distributions clearly show the importance of proxy-SU(4)SU(4) in this mass region. Besides presenting this evidence, new proxy schemes with G=SU(5)G=SU(5), SO(6)SO(6) and SO(10)SO(10) that are generated by good proxy-SU(4)SU(4) symmetry are described in some detail. An important feature is that the four proxy symmetries SU(3)SU(3), SO(6)SO(6), SU(5)SU(5) and SO(10)SO(10) appear twice.
