Theoretical Nuclear Structure Physics

Topics of interest in the field of nuclear structure theory are various aspects of nuclear dynamics, especially in the limit of high angular momentum (rapidly rotating nuclei), far from beta-stability lines (drip-line nuclei) and at high temperature (hot nuclei). Examples of phenomena studied are one-particle shell structure, exotic shapes (superdeformation, triaxial deformation, octupole deformation, and C4-symmetry deformation), various kinds of giant resonances, low-lying vibrations, beta-decays, particle emission, nuclear masses and deformations as well as chaotic behaviour of nuclear systems. The shell structure of clusters of metallic atoms, regarded as a many-fermion system, is studied using techniques developed in the study of nuclear structure. The research is to a large extent carried out in international collaborations with both theorists and experimentalists. Thus we keep close contact with experimental groups at Niels Bohr Institute, Tallahasse, Oak Ridge, Stony Brook, Strasbourg, GANIL, CEN and ISN Grenoble, Knoxville and Nashville, CERN, GSI, Cologne, Legnaro, and RIKEN.
