Test of Pseudospin Symmetry in Deformed Nuclei

摘要: Pseudospin symmetry is a relativistic symmetry of the Dirac Hamiltonian with scalar and vector mean fields equal and opposite in sign. This symmetry imposes constraints on the Dirac eigen- functions. We examine extensively the Dirac eigenfunctions of realistic relativistic mean field calcu- lations of deformed nuclei to determine if these eigenfunctions satisfy these pseudospin symmetry constraints.
