International Symposium On Nuclear Structure Physics

Download or read book International Symposium on Nuclear Structure Physics written by Peter von Brentano and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2001 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear structure physics is undergoing a major revival, full of activities and excitement. On the experimental side, this is being made possible by advances in detector technology and accelerator capabilities that give access to data and nuclei (especially exotic nuclei far from stability) never before accessible. On the theoretical side, new concepts, ideas and computational techniques are advancing our understanding of effective interactions, nucleonic correlations, and symmetries of structure. This volume covers a broad range of topics on nuclear structure, including collective excitations, protonOConeutron excitation modes, phase transitions, signatures of structure, isospin, structure at both high and low angular momenta, recent developments in nuclear theory, the vast new realm of exotic nuclei far from the valley of stability, and the latest technological advances of detectors and facilities which will lead this branch of physics into the future. Contents: New Class of Dynamic Symmetries (F Iachello); Real Photon Scattering Close to the Neutron Threshold (A Zilges et al.); Decay Out of a Superdeformed Band (H A Weidenmller); Recent Developments of the Nuclear Shell Model (T Otsuka); Aspects of Nuclear Structure at Low Isospin (D D Warner); Isovector Valence Shell Excitations in Heavy Nuclei (N Pietralla); Structure of Nuclei Beyond the Dripline (M Thoennessen); Applications of High Resolution Gamma Spectroscopy in Low Energy Nuclear Structure Research (H G BArner et al.); Clusterization and Composite Symmetries (J Cseh); Recent Results from the Mistral Mass Measurement Program at Isolde (M de Saint Simon et al.); Big Bang Entropy (G S Ioannidis & C Syros); Phase Instabilities in Nuclear Matter and Droplet Formation (R Ogul & U Atav); and other papers. Readership: Researchers, academics, graduate students and post-docs in nuclear physics."
