Correlated Nucleon Pair Model and Microscopic Basis of Interacting Boson

An earlier work dealing with low-lying collective states in nuclei is revised and improved. Correlated and independent nucleon S and D pairs properly modified so that they behave approximately like bosons are constructed in terms of which a model space for lowlying collective states is defined, and a microscopic basis for IBM is thus set up. All dynamical variables can also be "bosonized", i.e., expressed in terms of these "bosons" but with statedependent coefficients or operators to incorporate their state dependence in model space.
