OGANESSIAN YU TS - Böcker

This book presents the latest results of experimental and theoretical studies of fission and fusion-fission dynamics from low to intermediate energies. It covers new results on the synthesis of superheavy elements and the decay of complex nuclear systems, binary and ternary fission, fragmentation, the decay of hot nuclei, and the nuclear structure of neutron-rich nuclei. It also discusses some questions concerning the incineration and transmutation of actinides from nuclear waste. Graduate students and researchers can use this book to review recent progress and explore future directions in the development of radioactive ion beam facilities.

It is known that nuclear shells play a particularly important role in the collective motion of nuclear matter and, as a consequence, determine the structure of nuclei, nuclear dynamics, nuclear decay models, etc.In 1999 the nuclear shell model turned fifty, and the 49th meeting on Nuclear Spectroscopy and Nuclear Structure was devoted to nuclear shells in their various manifestations. The talks presented at the conference covered a wide range of experimental and theoretical studies.
