Recent studies show that for systems with four identical fermions in the $j=9/2$ shell two special states, which have seniority $v=4$ and total spins I=4 and 6, are eigenstates of any two-body interaction. These states have good seniority…
A partial conservation of the seniority quantum number in $j=9/2$ shells has been found recently in a numerical application. In this paper a complete analytic proof for this problem is derived as an extension of the work by Zamick and P.…
The g_{9/2} shell of identical particles is the first one for which one can have seniority-mixing effects. We consider three interactions: a delta interaction that conserves seniority, a quadrupole-quadrupole (QQ) interaction that does not,…
We consider 2 neutrons and 2 protons in the g_{9/2} shell.Wave functions and energy levels are obtained for various interactions. The wave functions for states with total angular momentum I greater or equal to 10 are not affected by what…
We discuss partial dynamical symmetries which occur in single j shell calculations mostly for high spin states for systems of three or four particles (holes). The relevant nuclei are 43Ti,43Sc, 44Ti, 52Fe,53Fe, 53Co,96Cd,97Cd, and 97In.
For each of the (9/2), (11/2) and (13/2) single j shells we have only one state with J=j V=3 for a five particle system. For four identical particles there can be more than one state of seniority four. We note some ``ratio'' relations for…
It is noted that in a calculation with 4 nucleons with isospin 1 in a single j shell (f_{7/2}, g_{9/2}, h_{11/2}) the state with median angular momentum J = (J_{max}+1)/2 lies very low in energy becoming either an isomeric state or a ground…
In an old paper [ 1] B.H. Flowers discussed calculations for odd A nuclei in the g9/2 shell. He finds when he varies the parameters of a certain interaction that the lowest energy state is always a seniority v=1 state with angular momentum…
There exist two uniquely defined $v=4$ states in systems within a $j=9/2$ subshell, which automatically conserve seniority and do not mix with other states. Here I show that the partial conservation of seniority plays an essential role in…
The concept of seniority plays a central role in nuclear structure physics by classifying many-body states according to the number of unpaired nucleons. While exact seniority conservation holds in single-$j$ systems with $j \leq 7/2$,…
For two neutrons and two protons or two neutron holes and two proton holes in a single j-shell, the state |phi> with isospin and seniority zero and the lowest angular momentum zero state |chi> produced by an attractive interaction of…
It is here noted that in a calculation with four nucleons with isospin T=1 in a single J shell the states with angular momentum J=(J(max)+1)/2 lie very low and become either isomeric states or ground states.
In a previous work we considered the number of pairs of particles with angular momentum J12 for systems with angular momentum zero.Here we extend the work to states of any total angular momentum.We find simplified relations satisfied for a…
The low-lying structures of the midshell $\nu g_{9/2}$ Ni isotopes $^{72}$Ni and $^{74}$Ni have been investigated at the RIBF facility in RIKEN within the EURICA collaboration. Previously unobserved low-lying states were accessed for the…
A discussion of the seniority quantum number in many-body systems is presented. The analysis is carried out for bosons and fermions simultaneously but is restricted to identical particles occupying a single shell. The emphasis of the paper…
We count the number of pairs in the single $j-$shell model of $^{44}$Ti for various interactions. For a state of total angular momentum $I$, the wave function can be written as $\Psi=\sum_{J_P J_N} D(J_P J_N) [(j^2)_{J_P}(j^2)_{J_N}]_I$,…
The seniority scheme has been shown to be extremely useful for the classification of nuclear states in semi-magic nuclei. The neutron-proton ($np$) correlation breaks the seniority symmetry in a major way. As a result, the corresponding…
A systematic study of the pairing correlations as a function of temperature and angular momentum has been performed in the sd-shell region using the spherical shell model approach. The pairing correlations have been derived for even-even,…
We had previously used techniques involving isospin to count the number of states for three identical fermions in a single j shell with total angular momentum I=j. We generalize this to all I, but the main thrust of this work is to consider…
For systems with three and four fermions within a single-j shell, analytical expressions for the state energies are presented from a decomposition of the angular momentum. In some important cases the expressions acquire a very simple form.…
