@article{10272/6384, year = {2013}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10272/6384}, abstract = {We propose the use of partial dynamical symmetry (PDS) as a selection criterion for higher-order terms in situations when a prescribed symmetry is obeyed by some states and is strongly broken in others. The procedure is demonstrated in a first systematic classification of many-body interactions with SU(3) PDS that can improve the description of deformed nuclei. As an example, the triaxial features of the nucleus 156Gd are analyzed.}, organization = {This work was supported in part (A.L.) by the Israel Science Foundation and in part (J.E.G.R.) by the Spanish Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad and the European regional development fund (FEDER) under Project No. FIS2011-28738-C02-02, by Junta de Andalucia under Project No. P07-FQM-02962, and by Spanish Consolider-Ingenio 2010 (CPANCSD2007-00042).
