Phase Transitions and Shape Coexistence in Atomic Nuclei

Abstract

© 2020, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. Abstract: Examples of phase transitions occurring in atomic nuclei in response to an increase in the excitation energy and angular momenta and in response to a change in the number of nucleons are considered. The possibility of describing such transitions within collective models based on a Hamiltonian that depends on a relatively small number of dynamical variables is demonstrated.
