Recent applications of relativistic mean field theory for finite nuclei are reviewed. We discuss
the description of ground states of nuclei and their properties like nuclear radii as well as …

Symmetry plays a fundamental role in physics. The quasi-degeneracy between single-
particle orbitals (n, l, j= l+ 1/2) and (n− 1, l+ 2, j= l+ 3/2) indicates a hidden symmetry in …

Abstract Preface; 1. Introduction; 2. Charge and matter distribution in nuclei; 3. The semi-
empirical mass formula and nuclear stability; 4. Nuclear fission and the liquid-drop model; 5 …

This paper presents the characteristics of a new generation of composite germanium
detectors: the Clover detector. Its development was based on simulation calculations …

Euroball is a European project to build a highly efficient and powerful gamma-ray
spectrometer for nuclear spectroscopy. The project represents an amalgamation of recent …

The new insights into a) the rapidly varying structures of neutron-rich nuclei up to spins as
high as 20+ and 19−, b) the spontaneous fission process itself, and c) modes of cluster …

The structure of recently discovered identical superdeformed bands in Tb 151 and Dy 152,
and in Gd 150 and Tb 151 are discussed in terms of the strong-coupling approach. Based …

Rotation-induced time-odd components in the nuclear mean field are analyzed using the
Hartree-Fock cranking approach with effective interactions SIII, SkM*, and SkP. Identical …

Nine superdeformed bands in several nuclei of the mass-190 region all have transitions of
the same or equivalent energies to within an average of about 1 keV–almost identical …

This paper reviews the most recent advances in the unders tanding of the physics of
superde formed nuclei from the point of view of the experimentalists. It cover s among other …
