An Uqp(u2) Model for Rotational Bands of Nuclei

A rotational model is developed from a new version of the two-parameter quantum algebra $U_{qp}({\rm u}_2)$. This model is applied to the description of some recent experimental data for the rotating superdeformed nuclei $^{192-194-196-198}{\rm Pb}$ and $^{192-194 }{\rm Hg}$. A comparison between the $U_{qp}({\rm u}_2)$ model presented here and the Raychev-Roussev-Smirnov model with $U_{q }({\rm su}_2)$ symmetry shows the relevance of the introduction of a second parameter of a ``quantum algebra'' type.
