The application of random-matrix theory (RMT) to compound-nucleus (CN) reactions is
reviewed. An introduction into the basic concepts of nuclear scattering theory is followed by …

▪ Abstract A mesoscopic system with strong interaction between constituents, the atomic
nucleus is a good candidate for studying the manifestations of quantum chaos. Recent …

It is shown that in a random potential two repulsing or attracting particles can propagate
coherently on a distance lc much larger than one-particle localization length l 1. The …

This book brings together various aspects of the nuclear fission phenomenon discovered by
Hahn, Strassmann and Meitner almost 70 years ago. Beginning with an historical …

A unified scheme for investigating weak meson-nucleon vertices defining parity-
nonconserving nuclear forces has been suggested in the paper by Desplanques …

The angular distribution of individual γ rays, emitted from a neutron-induced compound-
nuclear state via radiative capture reaction of La 139 (n, γ) has been studied as a function of …

The model of Fermi particles with random two-body interaction is investigated. This model
allows one to study the origin and accuracy of statistical laws in few-body systems, the role …

Effects of weak interactions: parity nonconservation and time-invariance violation, can be
enhanced up to 106 times in compound nuclei. This factor is produced by (i)“simple” …

The knowledge of the level density is necessary for understanding nuclear reactions
involving excited nuclear states. In particular, it is an important element in description of …

Parity nonconservation has been studied in the transmission of longitudinally polarized
epithermal neutrons incident upon a La 139 target. Previous experiments have …
