Nuclear reactions induced by photons play a vital role for very different aspects of basic
research and applications in physics. They are a key ingredient for the synthesis of nuclei in …

Atomic nuclei are quantum many-body systems of protons and neutrons held together by
strong nuclear forces. Under the proper conditions, nuclei can break into two (sometimes …

In this paper, I go back to Bas van Fraassen's seminal discussion of perspectivity in the
context of scientific representation as a springboard for distinguishing between two possible …

The bulk motion of nuclear matter at the ultrahigh temperatures created in heavy ion
collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large Hadron Collider is well …

This review is devoted to the problem of thermalization in a small isolated conglomerate of
interacting constituents. A variety of physically important systems of intensive current interest …

IN order to explain the results of experiments on scattering of a rays by matter Prof.
Rutherford t has given a theory of the structure of'atoms. According to this theory, the atoms …

The statistical properties of the characteristic values of a matrix the elements of which show
a normal (Gaussian) distribution are well known (cf.[6] Chapter XI) and have been derived …

On the basis of the liquid drop model of atomic nuclei, an account is given of the mechanism
of nuclear fission. In particular, conclusions are drawn regarding the variation from nucleus …

We review the development of random-matrix theory (RMT) during the last fifteen years. We
emphasize both the theoretical aspects, and the application of the theory to a number of …

An attempt is made to correlate in a unified picture the features of the empirical evidence on
nuclear constitution, some of which appear to require for their explanation the liquid drop …
