Structure of Warm Nuclei

Åberg, Sven LU and Uhrenholt, Henrik LU (2009) 1st International Ulaanbaatar Conference on Nuclear Physics and Applications 1109. p.3-10
Abstract
We study the structure of nuclei in the energy region between the ground state and the neutron separation energy, here called warm nuclei. The onset of chaos in the nucleus as excitation energy is increased is briefly reviewed. Chaos implies fluctuations of energies and wave functions qualitatively the same for all chaotic nuclei. On the other hand, large structure effects are seen, e.g. in the level-density function at same excitation energies. A microscopic model for the level density is reviewed and we discuss effects on structure of the total level-density function, parity enhancement, and the spin distribution function. Comparisons to data are performed at the neutron separation energy for all observed nuclei, and structure of the... (More)

The role of structure effects in the level-density function for fission dynamics is exemplified. (Less)
