Abstract

Nuclear models based on Lie algebras provide insight into collective phenomena. Here neutron-proton pairing, which plays an important role in double beta decay, is discussed in two such models, one based on SO(5) and the second on SO(8). The latter model is used to test the accuracy of the Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation and improvements to it.
