Abstract
A new approximate projection method is proposed to treat the spurious state problem in the Dyson boson description of nuclear collective motion. In this method, successive orders of approximate projection are used to construct the various physical states in the Dyson boson representation of the shell model. Even in the lowest orders of approximation, the approximately projected boson states obtained turn out to be quite accurate in producing physical quantities. Furthermore, this approximate projection method is applicable not only to vibrational or transitional nuclei but also to rotational nuclei.
