U.S.-Mexico Cooperative Research: Pairing Correlations and the Pseudo-SU (3) Model

小行星9500474 该美洲计划奖将支持路易斯安那州立大学的Jerry Draayer教授与墨西哥城国家理工学院研究中心（CINVESTAV- IPN）的Jorge Hirsch教授进行研究合作。 研究人员打算在重的、强变形的核中进行计算机壳模型计算，特别感兴趣的是确定双β衰变率。 最终，研究人员打算更好地了解配对相关性在变形核中的作用，以及如何将它们最好地纳入扩展的几何集体模型。 通过这项研究，研究人员希望开发和应用多功能和可输出的基于SU（3）的壳模型代码，可用于研究一般和基本性质的问题，并扩大和扩大两国强大研究小组之间的联系。 ***

9500474 Draayer This Americas Program award will support Professor Jerry Draayer of Louisiana State University in a research collaboration with Professor Jorge Hirsch of the Centro de Investigacion y de Estudios Avanzados del Instituto Politecnico Nacional (CINVESTAV- IPN) in Mexico City. The investigators intend to carry out computer shell-model calculations in heavy, strongly-deformed nuclei with particular interest in the determination of double beta decay rates. Ultimately, the researchers intend to obtain a better understanding of the role pairing correlations play in deformed nuclei and how they can best be incorporated into an expanded geometrical collective model. Through this research, the investigators hope to develop and apply versatile and exportable SU(3)-based shell model code that can be used to study problems of both a general and fundamental nature, and to broaden and expand links between strong research groups in both countries. ***
