Abstract
The measures for SU(4) symmetry and the Wigner energy, in terms of double binding energy differences, for even-even and odd-odd nuclei in mass region are studied using the infinite nuclear matter (INM) mass model of atomic nuclei. The INM model predicts that the SU(4) symmetry is broken in even-even nuclei but remnants of this symmetry should be present in odd-odd nuclei in this region. Similarly, the estimates of the Wigner energy indicate that the states in these nuclei should start appearing around 0.5 MeV above the ground states that are in nature.
