NPSC-2003 Gabriela Popa
Conclusions
A proper description of collective properties of the first excited K = 0+ and K=2+ states must take into account the mixing of different SU(3)-irreps, which is driven by the Hamiltonian.
A microscopic interpretation of the relative position of the collective band, as well as that of the levels within the band, follows from an evaluation of the primary SU(3) content of the collective states. The latter are closely linked to nuclear deformation.
If the leading configuration is triaxial (nonzero ), the ground and bands belong to the same SU(3) irrep; if the leading SU(3) configuration is axial (=0), the K =0 and bands come from the same SU(3) irrep.

Future work
• In some nuclei total strength of the M1 distributionis larger than the experimental value
•Investigate the energy spectra in super-heavy nuclei•Investigate the M1 transitions in light nuclei
• There are new experiments that determine the inter-band B(E2) transitions• Improve the model to calculate these transitions
• Consider the abnormal parity levels• Consider the states with J = 1 in the configuration space
