Download or read book High Spin Physics And Gamma-soft Nuclei - Proceedings Of The International Conference written by Juerg X Saladin and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1991-03-06 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proceedings present the most recent results of experimental and theoretical nuclear spectroscopy, revealing the effects of rapid rotation and thermal fluctuations on the shapes and superfluid properties of a wide range of atomic nuclei. Unstable and novel shapes are emphasized, e.g. super-and hyper-deformed shapes, and triaxial quadrupole and octupole shapes (both static and vibrational). Theoretical treatments are given in terms of a variety of mean field models, as well as the Fermion Dynamical Symmetry Model and the Interacting Boson Model. New experimental methods of gamma-ray spectroscopy are discussed, including fluctuation analysis and energy-ordered gamma ray spectroscopy.
