Generalizing spin and pseudospin symmetries for relativistic spin 1/2 fermions

Abstract: We propose a generalization of pseudospin and spin symmetries, the SU(2) symmetries of Dirac equation with scalar and vector mean-field potentials originally found independently in the 70's by Smith and Tassie, and Bell and Ruegg. As relativistic symmetries, they have been extensively researched and applied to several physical systems for the last 18 years. The main feature of these symmetries is the suppression of the spin-orbit coupling either in the upper or lower components of the Dirac spinor, thereby tur… Show more

“…These symmetries were discovered in the first half of 1970's independently by Smith et al [4] and Bell et al [5]. Since then, SS and PSS are being investigated in various scientific papers [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], detailed reports have been published by Ginocchio [16] and recently by Liang et al [17]. The origin of these symmetries basically depends on the investigated system's Hamiltonian, that is constituted with the external potential energy term limited with a Lorentz scalar, V s , and a non-zero time component Lorentz vector, V v , [18].…”

“…Initially, these symmetries are asserted by Smith et al [6] and Bell et al [7] in their independent studies. Afterwards, the subject became more and more popular and was studied by many authors [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. Detailed reviews of using these symmetries in nuclear structure phenomena, including the open problems, were given by Ginocchio [27] and recently by Liang et al [28].…”
