The fundamental model of nuclear structure is the shell model.
However, its application has been limited to light nuclei (up to
the sd shell) or heavier nuclei with only a few valence nucleons
outside closed shells. Its application beyond these limits has been
prohibited so far by the large scale of the calculations involved.
For the description of nuclei beyond the sd shell having several
valence nucleons the introduction of collective models becomes
necessary. The first comprehensive phenomenological model of
nuclear structure was the geometric collective model of A. Bohr and
B.R. Mottelson. An alternative approach was proposed in 1974 by A.
Arima and F. Iachello, known as the Interacting Boson Model. This
model, which uses group theoretical techniques in the description
of nuclear collective properties, has the advantage of relative
simplicity, allowing for detailed calculations of the properties of
even medium and heavy nuclei which cannot be reached by the shell
model yet. Several extensions and generalizations of the model have
appeared over the last decade. Algebraic descriptions for the
effects of clustering, permanent octupole deformation, and giant
resonances have also been given. For the description of odd nuclei
the Interacting Boson-Fermion Model has been introduced, and
nuclear supersymmetries associated with it have been analysed. The
present text is designed to provide physicists with an accessible
introduction to the subject.
