Level Statistics of Even-Even Nuclei

Chapter FourConclusionThe nucleus is a unique form of matter, consisting of many nucleons (protons and neutrons) in proximity. All of the forces of nature are present in the nucleus strong, electromagnetic, and weak. Even gravity is important in the case of neutron stars, whicOne of the most fascinating features of atomic nuclei is the relatively regular behavior exhibited at low excitation energies, compared to the chaotic nature of their dynamics at excitation energy near the neutron emission threshold. These regular islands
