COLLECTIVE MOTION AND PHASE TRANSITIONS IN NUCLEAR SYSTEMS
Proceedings of the Predeal International Summer School in Nuclear Physics
Predeal, Romania 28 August - 9 September 2006

edited by A A Raduta, V Baran (University of Bucharest & NIPNE-HH, Romania), A C Gheorghe & I Ursu (NIPNE-HH, Romania)

Table of Contents (117k)
Preface (103k)
Chapter 1: Description of nuclear octupole and quadrupole deformation close to the axial symmetry and phase transitions in the octupole mode (854k)

This volume contains the invited contributions that were presented at the Predeal International Summer School in Nuclear Physics 2006. It covers the recent achievements in the fields of nuclear structure, double beta decay, nuclear multifragmentation, kaon and dilepton production in heavy ion collisions, and the quark–gluon plasma. The treatment is both theoretical and experimental, with emphasis on the collective aspects and related phase transitions. The papers are authored by many leading researchers in the field.


Contents:

  • Simultaneous Description of Four Positive and Four Negative Parity Bands (A A Raduta & C M Raduta)
  • Precision Measurements with Ion Traps (A Jokinen)
  • Nuclear Symmetries and Anomalies (L Zamick & A Escuderos)
  • Modern Shell-Model Calculations (A Covello)
  • The Role of Instabilities in Nuclear Fragmentation (V Baran et al.)
  • New Spectroscopy with Cold Fission (D S Delion & A Sandulescu)
  • Questions of the Microscopical Optical Potential for Alpha-Particles at Low Energies (M Avrigeanu)
  • The Physics of Deep Inelastic Scattering at HERA (C Diaconu)
  • and other papers
