摘要

The projected shell model (PSM) in its original version is an efficient shell model truncation scheme for well deformed nuclei. However, the model is applicable only to rotational motion, but not collective vibrations. In this paper, we discuss a scheme that extends the PSM applicability to low-lying rotational and vibrational states possibly in all kinds of heavy nuclei (from deformed via transitional to spherical), thus rendering it to be a more general multi-major-shell shell model for heavy nuclei. Three known types of vibration (beta, gamma, and scissors-mode) are discussed.
