The Sp(3,R) representations of an A-particle nucleus Original Research Article

An interactive program to evaluate the symplectic representations associated with a nucleus of mass number A. The code is in C language and is based on an algorithm developed by one of the authors (MJC). This code is mainly of interest to the implementation of the nuclear symplectic shell model. However, with appropriate (tedious but straightforward) modifications it can be used to evaluate the so-called ‘discrete (D+) series’ unirreps of Sp(n,R), for arbitrary n.
