Application of a two-parameter quantum algebra to rotational spectroscopy of nuclei

A two-parameter quantum algebra Uqp(u2) is briefly investigated in this paper. The basic ingredients of a model based on the Uqp(u2) symmetry, the qp-rotator model, are presented in detail. Some general tendencies arising from the application of this model to the description of rotational bands of various atomic nuclei are summarized.
