Using relations between wave functions obtained in the framework of the relativistic mean field theory, we investigate the effects of pseudospin and spin symmetry breaking on the single nucleon wave functions in spherical nuclei. In our…
The quasi-degeneracy between the single-particle states $(n,\,l,\,j=l+1/2)$ and $(n-1,\,l+2,\,j=l+3/2)$ indicates a special and hidden symmetry in atomic nuclei---the so-called pseudospin symmetry (PSS)---which is an important concept in…
Symmetry plays a fundamental role in physics. The quasi-degeneracy between single-particle orbitals $(n, l, j = l + 1/2)$ and $(n-1, l + 2, j = l + 3/2)$ indicates a hidden symmetry in atomic nuclei, the so-called pseudospin symmetry (PSS).…
A review is given of the relation between pairing, quasi-spin algebras and seniority. The former two concepts are closely connected, the relation being that the quasi-spin formalism allows an efficient solution of the pairing problem.…
In this work we study the contribution of the isoscalar tensor coupling to the realization of pseudospin symmetry in nuclei. Using realistic values for the tensor coupling strength, we show that this coupling reduces noticeably the…
In the framework of the Relativistic Mean Field Approach a pseudospin dependence of the residual forces in nuclei is considered. It is shown that this dependence is relatively weak. As a consequence, a pseudospin dependence of the…
Our knowledge of the nucleon spin structure has greatly improved over the last twenty years or so, but still many fundamental questions remain unsolved. I will try to review some of the puzzling aspects of the structure of the nucleon spin,…

The single-particle spectrum of deformed shell-model states in nuclei, is shown to exhibit a supersymmetric pattern. The latter involves deformed pseudospin doublets and intruder levels. The underlying supersymmetry is associated with the…

Nuclear spin memories of divalent neutral atoms can allow spin-preserving resolved-sideband cooling in a strong magnetic field [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 123001 (2007)]. We present a theory for cooling $^{87}$Sr nuclear-spin qubits in a weak…
We present an overview of recent experimental and theoretical advances in our understanding of the spin structure of protons and neutrons.
Standard concepts of nuclear physics explaining the systematics of ground state spins in nuclei by the presence of specific coherent terms in the nucleon-nucleon interaction were put in doubt by the observation that these systematics can be…
The purpose of this article is to present the thermodynamics of the pseudospin-electron model in the case of the different type interactions between pseudospins. First, we provide an overview of the results of works which deal with the…
Spin observables in radiative neutron capture on a proton and its inverse process, photodisintegration of the deuteron are calculated using a pionless effective field theory with di-baryon fields. Good agreement with the results of existing…
The relations between the strengths of spin-isospin transition operators extracted from direct nuclear reactions, magnetic scattering of electrons and processes of semi-leptonic weak interactions are discussed.
We show that a natural explanation for characteristic features (angular momentum and radial quantum numbers) of pseudospin doublets and intruder levels in nuclei can be obtained by combining the relativistic attributes of pseudospin…
