contents SU(3) Model Description of Be Isotopes Eduardo de Almeida S. Shelly Sharma Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas Experimental data on light nuclei close to dripline suggests that as the nucleon number asymmetry increases, theshell structure from stability line is not preserved. In contrast with spherical shell model, Elliott’s SU(3) model,uses a deformed multi-nucleon basis to describe nuclear states. The SU(3) symmetry is a strong feature of 1pshell nuclei, where symmetry breaking spin-orbit force is rather weak. We have calculated the binding energiesand low-lying energy spectra of Be isotopes (A=6 to A=14), within the framework of Elliott’s SU(3) model, withspecial emphasis on effects due to the presence of intruder orbit 1S1=2 in the region. The model space includesSU(3) basis states that maximize the quadrupole-quadrupole interaction (¡ÂQ:Q).
