The symposium “Computational and Group-Theoretical Methods in Nuclear Physics” was organized to celebrate the 60th birthday of Jerry P Draayer, who is Professor of Physics, Lousiana State University, and President of the Southeastern Universities Research Association (SURA). The focus of the meeting was on computational and algebraic approaches to the nuclear many-body problem. The presentations highlighted recent experimental and theoretical developments in nuclear structure physics.The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:• Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings® (ISTP® / ISI Proceedings)• Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings)• CC Proceedings — Engineering & Physical Sciences
The Highly Specialized Seminar on "Symmetries in Nuclear Structure", held in Erice, Italy, in March 2003, celebrated the career and the remarkable achievements of Francesco Iachello, on the occasion of his 60th birthday. Since the development of the interacting boson model in the early 1970s, the ideas of Iachello have provided a variety of frameworks for understanding collective behaviour in nuclear structure, founded on the concepts of dynamical symmetries and spectrum-generating algebras. The original ideas, which were developed for the description of atomic nuclei, have now been successfully extended to cover spectroscopic behaviour in other fields, such as molecular or hadronic spectra....
This book gives an account of the properties of the interacting boson model.
The interacting boson-fermion model has become in recent years the standard model for the description of atomic nuclei with an odd number of protons and/or neutrons. This book describes the mathematical framework on which the interacting boson-fermion model is built and presents applications to a variety of situations encountered in nuclei. The book addresses both the analytical and the numerical aspects of the problem. The analytical aspect requires the introduction of rather complex group theoretic methods, including the use of graded (or super) Lie algebras. The first (and so far only) example of supersymmetry occurring in nature is also discussed. The book is the first comprehensive treatment of the subject and will appeal to both theoretical and experimental physicists. The large number of explicit formulas for level energies, electromagnetic transition rates and intensities of transfer reactions presented in the book provide a simple but detailed way to analyse experimental data. This book can also be used as a textbook for advanced graduate students.
This volume contains the lectures of invited speakers on the following topics: Collective excitations at zero and finite temperature; Algebraic and geometric symmetric nuclear models; Fundamental symmetries in nuclear physics; Fast rotating nuclei; Nuclei far from stability; Nuclear multifragmentation; Nuclear astrophysics; Subnucleonic degrees of freedom; Relativistic effects in nuclear physics; Quark-gluon plasma physics; Order and chaos in nuclear physics; Nuclear physics and atomic aggregates; Applied nuclear physics.
This volume gives a borad overview on symmetry methods ypplied to molecular and nuclear physics, to particle physics, decay processes, and phase space dynamics. The thoroughly edited contributions should be of interest not only to scientists but also to thos that want to see how symmetry considerations are put to work in twentieth century physics.

This book covers two aspects of the career of D Allan Bromley: the science policy aspect and the scientific aspect.In the first half of the book, contributions from Governor John Sununu, former White House Chief of Staff under President George H W Bush; Neal Lane, former Science Adviser to President William Clinton; John Marburger III, Science Adviser to President George W Bush; and Mary Good, former Undersecretary of Commerce, highlight the role of Bromley as Science Adviser to President George H W Bush and a maker of science policy in the second part of the 20th Century. This part is of interest to science policy scholars, historians, and young persons wishing to start a career in science ...
The physics of nuclear collective motion was pioneered by A Bohr and B R Mottelson 50 years ago. Since then, experimental and theoretical development in this field has been remarkable under the leadership of the Copenhagen group. In the 21st century, a new era has opened up due to the recent developments of experimental facilities, especially radioactive ion beams and large γ-ray arrays. Interest in collective motions is now shared in the research of other quantum many-body systems — for example, microclusters and Bose-Einstein condensation. It is therefore timely and important to review the current understanding of collective motions and discuss new directions of future study.The main to...
This conference, celebrating the remarkable scientific career of Stuart Pittel, brought together internationally recognized scientists from around the world, as well as a number of graduate students and post-docs, to discuss exciting recent developments in nuclear structure physics from both the experimental and theoretical points of view. Topics include: microscopic theories, pairing models, the structure of loosely bound systems, dynamical symmetries, phase transitions and critical points, collective modes and chaos as well as regularity in nuclear spectra.
