[en] We are at last just beginning to identify convincing evidence for what we have long believed, namely that the nucleus is more than the sum of its neutron-proton parts taken pairwise because, for example, a cluster of three nucleons interacts differently from the sum of the interactions of its three pairs; there is an important collectivism in the life of a nucleus even before we ask what its nucleons are doing.

[en] These proceedings of the Niels Bohr Centennial Conference contains 40 lectures in nuclear physics ranging over the following subjects: single particle motion; collective motion at low excitation energy; collective motion at high angular momentum; giant resonances and nuclear forces. (G.J.P.)

[en] The structure of the nucleus and its constituents still presents a challenge to both theoretical and experimental physicists. This paper deals mainly with the an experimental attempt for the verification of the new theory for neutron structure and its stimulated decay recently proposed by R.M. Santilli which would imply a new, clean, subnuclear energy. The experiment is carried out by the Laboratory of Nuclear Technology at the University of Thrace, Xanthi, Greece

[en] The book is at the level of a first year graduate student and deals with the structure and physics of the nucleus and not primarily with either laboratory or mathematical techniques. The underlying emphasis is on how a nucleus is constituted through the interaction between nucleons. Chapters included are: (1) The constituents of nuclei, (2) Internucleon forces: I; Nuclear moments and nuclear shapes; (4) Sizes of nuclei; (5) Internucleon forces: II; (6) Nuclear binding energies; (7) Single-particle model; (8) Correlations in nuclear matter; (9) Collective nuclear motion; (10) Hartree-Fock and particle-hole calculations; (11) Alpha radioactivity; (12) Fission. Appendixes are (A) Angular momentum, Spherical tensors, Dirac matrices; (B) Some results used in scattering theory; (C) The notation of second quantization; (D) The WKB approximation; and (E) Electromagnetic transitions.

[en] We discuss microscopical interpretations of nuclear mass systematics, emphasizing aspects having relevance to nuclei far from stability. (orig.)

[en] An alternate approach to finding an analytical mass equation on the basis of nuclear structure considerations is described. The method makes use of nuclidic mass relationships which represent partial difference equations

[en] Understanding the physics of nuclei at the limits of deformation. Superdeformed nuclei (i.e., nuclei with a major-to-minor axis ratio of ∼2:1) provide a unique laboratory for nuclear structure studies at the limits of observable deformation. Islands of superdeformation are predicted and found throughout the table of isotopes. We have focused our attention on the A = 190 region, since neutron deficient Hg and Pb nuclei were predicted to support a stable superdeformed minimum at zero angular momentum. We are making major contributions to the development of this region of superdeformation. We find general agreement with fully 3-D Hartree Fock calculations done with a microscopic interaction, including pairing. Our measurements test predictions in the second well which are based on extrapolation of nuclear theory determined at 'normal' deformation. In addition, unusual phenomena are expected because of the large difference in shape between well I and well II states. Our experiments require the sensitivity and resolution of large scale Ge detector arrays
