The jellium model of simple metal clusters has enjoyed remarkable empirical success,
leading to many theoretical questions. In this review, we first survey the hierarchy of …

Nuclear reactions induced by photons play a vital role for very different aspects of basic
research and applications in physics. They are a key ingredient for the synthesis of nuclei in …

The two most important developments in nuclear physics were the shell model and the
collective model. The former gives the formal framework for a description of nuclei in terms of …

The electric dipole response of atomic nuclei has attracted a lot of attention from
experimentalists and theorists in the last decade. This review gives an overview about the …

This contribution reviews the present status on the available constraints to the nuclear
equation of state (EoS) around saturation density from nuclear structure calculations on …

Absolute nuclear photon absorption cross sections have been measured for the elements Li,
Be, C, O, Al, Si and Ca from 10 MeV up to photon energies beyond the meson production …

The formalism of sum rules is developed and employed to investigate various giant
resonances in nuclei. Particular emphasis is given to the role of surface effects which are …

We derive a mean-field relativistic formula for the isotope shift of an electronic energy level
for arbitrary angular momentum; we then use it to predict the spectra of superheavy …

A review is given of the present situation of electric giant resonances in nuclei. Starting with
the properties of the well-known electric dipole resonances the authors summarise the …

The long-range correlation model, ie the hydrodynamic “second-sound” model, of the
photonuclear effect predicts a splitting of the giant resonance in deformed nuclei. As a result …
