Abstract
In this article we consider the physical importance of q deformation in nuclear physics [ 1 ] by considering a q deformed generalization of a classical nuclear theory. The role of the deformation parameter is explored by comparing the non-deformed and deformed results with experimental data. This is accomplished by relating physical quantities, other than the Hamiltonian itself, with generators of the Cartan subalgebra of the principal symmetry group. This is important because the latter do not change as a function of the deformation while the other generators do. In this way the effects of the deformation on the underlying physics are isolated from other changes.
