Abstract

We exploit the rich algebraic structure of the interacting boson model to explain the notion of partial dynamical symmetry (PDS), and present a procedure for constructing Hamiltonians with this property. We demonstrate the relevance of PDS to various topics in nuclear spectroscopy, including K-band splitting, odd-even staggering in the γ-band and anharmonicity of excited vibrational bands. Special emphasis in this construction is paid to the role of higher-order terms.
