Abstract
We analyse the arguments used in the relativistic context to base the quasi-degeneracy of pseudospin doublets (PSDs) observed in atomic nuclei on the smallness of the single-particle central potential (ΣS + Σ0), discussing, especially, the implications of the results obtained in the limit (ΣS + Σ0 = 0. We study also the transition from a relativistic model, where ΣS + Σ0 is a harmonic-oscillator potential and exhibits degenerate PSDs, to a more realistic one with broken pseudospin symmetry. We examine, in particular, the effect of the corresponding pseudospin symmetry-breaking term on the Dirac spinors of the PSDs. An extension of the Nilsson model to the relativistic case is also considered.
