A schematic model for monopole and quadrupole pairing in nuclei

A schematic Hamiltonian with a pairing interaction plus a quadrupole-quadrupole interaction between nucleons is presented. It is shown that all the states of the fermion system can be classified according to the number of nucleons u not coupled to coherent monopole or quadrupole pairs. The states with u = 0 are shown to have a one-to-one correspondence to the states of the interacting boson model. The spectra for these states are derived analytically for various limits of the pairing strength and the quadrupole strength. Analytical forms for the matrix elements of operators are derived for these limits. The operators in fermion space are mapped onto boson operators. The matrix elements of operators in the fermion space are shown to be equal to matrix elements of the boson operators multiplied by analytical Pauli factors which are state dependent. The two-nucleon transfer strength is calculated in two limits and is compared to experimental values.
