Description

The SU(3) group, its role in bridging the shell model and the collective model, SU(3)-based truncated shell model calculations and puzzles associated with quadrupole-quadrupole interaction together with solutions are briefly described. An overview of various important developments resulting from the application of SU(3) symmetry, and its potential in exploring new frontiers of nuclear structure physics is presented. (author)
