Collective states from random interactions

Abstract

The anharmonic vibrator and rotor regions in nuclei are investigated in the framework of the interacting boson model using an ensemble of random one- and two-body interactions. Despite the randomness of the interactions (in sign and size) we find a predominance of L(P)=0(+) ground states and strong evidence for the occurrence of both vibrational and rotational band structure.
