Application of the coherent state formalism to multiply excited states

ORAL

Abstract

Results are obtained allowing the coherent state formalism for algebraic models to be applied to states possessing an arbitrarily large number of intrinsic excitation quanta. A general procedure is presented for evaluation of the matrix element of an arbitrary $n$-body operator between coherent states constructed from multiple orthogonal coherent boson creation operators. The results may be applied to a variety of algebraic models. Supported by the US DOE under grant DE-FG02-91ER-40608.
