Level densities and single-particle distributions in hot nuclei

The calculation of level densities helps us in understanding the energy distribution of the excited levels of nuclei. The estimates of level densities are usually described in terms of degenerate Fermi gas model. In this approach, the level-density parameter will be structure and temperature independent. In many other approaches the temperature dependence of shell and pairing effects are not considered simultaneously. In this the temperature dependence of the level-density parameter, the specific heat, level density and the spin cut off parameter are studied
