A Semimicroscopic Algebraic Cluster Model for Heavy Nuclei

Nuclear Theory 2021-05-12 v1

Abstract

An extension of the Semimicroscopic Algebraic Cluster Model (SACM) is proposed, based on the pseudo-SU(3) model. The Hamiltonian and the spectroscopic factor operator of the model are presented and a procedure of constructing the model space. Because a huge number of SU(3) irreducible representations (irrep) appear, one has to be careful in designing a practical, consistent path to reduce the Hilbert space. The concept of forbiddenness, taking into account excitations of the clusters, is introduced and applied. The applications are to two systems with a low forbiddenness, namely to 236U -> 210Pb + 26Ne and 224Ra -> 210Pb + 14C, and to 236U -> 146Xe + 90Sr, which appears in the fission of 236U, which requires a large forbiddenness. Energies, electromagnetic transitions and spectroscopic factors are calculated.
