Abstract
The proton-neutron symplectic model with Sp(12,R) dynamical algebra is applied for the simultaneous description of the microscopic structure of the low-lying positive-parity states of the lowest ground, β and γ bands in U238. For this purpose, the model Hamiltonian is diagonalized in a U(6)-coupled basis, restricted to the state space spanned by the fully symmetric U(6) irreps. A good description of the energy levels of the three bands under consideration, as well as the enhanced intraband B(E2) transition strengths between the states of the ground band is obtained without the use of an effective charge. The results obtained show small admixtures from the higher major shells and a highly coherent mixing of different U(6) irreps which is manifested by the presence of a good U(6) quasi-dynamical symmetry in the microscopic structure of the collective states under consideration.
