Yu Ts Oganessian - Böcker

The proceedings of the conference include recent results of experimental and theoretical research on the following topics: reaction dynamics, fusion-fission phenomena, neutron physics, deformed shells, nuclear spectroscopy, and exotic nuclei.

This book presents recent results on experimental and theoretical studies of the interaction of heavy ions with nuclei at low and intermediate energies: the dynamics of fusion and decay of complex nuclear systems, the synthesis of superheavy elements, the synthesis and properties of exotic nuclei close to the proton and neutron driplines, nuclear fission, nuclear structure, and reactions with stable and radioactive ion beams. It also covers some aspects of applied physics research: track membranes and their applications, the use of polymers in medicine and electronics, production and application of radioisotopes for medical purposes, and environmental protection.

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.
