The concept of spontaneous symmetry breaking is applied to the rotating mean field of
nuclei. The description is based on the tilted-axis cranking model, which takes into account …

A review of the empirical data on intrinsic states of odd-A nuclei in the mass range 151≤
A≤ 193 and A≥ 221 is presented. Global summaries of the data are presented in tables for …

The BCS theoretical values of the moments of inertia of even-even nuclei are systematically
smaller than the experimental ones by a factor of 10–40%. This long-standing discrepancy …

Nuclei in the mass-180 region have many high-Ω single-particle levels close to the Fermi
energy and are, therefore, prime candidates for high-K isomers. Since both neutron and …

Empirical evidence for the existence of pair fluctuations in rapidly rotating nuclei in
connection with the pair gap is reviewed. The quantities considered are single-particle …

Excited states of atomic nuclei can have long half lives, due to the angular-momentum
couplings of unpaired nucleons. Such isomeric states provide opportunities for exploring …

A Fortran program is presented which conforms with the framework of the Projected Shell
Model. The theory is a genuine shell model configuration mixing approach but requires only …

The key elements of the Unified Model are reviewed. The microscopic derivation of the Bohr
Hamiltonian by means of adiabatic time-dependent mean field theory is presented. By …

Gamma-rays de-exciting a millisecond isomer in the neutron-rich nucleus 19074W116 have
been observed following relativistic projectile fragmentation of a 1 GeV per nucleon 208Pb …
