Partial dynamical symmetry and the vibrational structure of Cd isotopes

Abstract

The recently reported deviations of selected non-yrast states in ${}^{110}$Cd from the expected spherical-vibrator behaviour, is addressed by means of an Hamiltonian with U(5) partial dynamical symmetry. The latter preserves the U(5) symmetry in a segment of the spectrum and breaks it in other states. The effect of intruder states is treated in the framework of the interacting boson model with configuration mixing.
