Collective Motion and Nuclear Dynamics. Predeal International Summer School

This monograph contains 35 lectures given at the International Summer School on Collective motion and Nuclear Dynamics held in Predeal, Romania, in the period August 28 - September 9, 1995. A large variety of subjects were approached, ranging from classical to pure quantum mechanical formalisms, from standard nuclear structure to nuclear dynamics for finite temperature and relativistic effects of nuclear systems, from deuteron and alpha to heavy clusters, from exotic nuclei lying far away from the stability line to superdeformed nuclei. The sections (number of lectures) were as follows: 1.Nuclear structure (15); 2.Clustering phenomena and large amplitude motion (5); 3.Nuclear reactions: exotic nuclei, fusion, fission (5); 4.Nuclear dynamics: nonlinear effects and finite temperature (4); 5.Relativistic collisions (1); 6.Single and double beta decay; 7.Investigation of nuclear systems by electron scattering (1); 8.Metallic clusters; 9.Quantum groups (2). Non-included within these proceedings, there were presented also a number of 14 short communications, copies which may be obtained either directly from the authors or through care of the editor
