oraz J. Styczeñ, W. Meczynski , K. Zuber, J. Grebosz, M. Zieblinski

Methods:

The gamma decay of the Giant Dipole Resonance (GDR), multi-detector arrays: HECTOR, EUROBALL, GARFIELD, ICARE.

Main problems studied:

 

a) The properties of hot nuclei from different mass regions.
The GDR width at high excitation energies for A~130.
The investigation of the effective shape of ²¹⁶Rn nucleus at the angular momenta close to the fission barrier.
The liquid-gas phase transition (A ~100). The charge particle emission from ⁴⁶Ti*.

 

b) Exotic shapes of nuclei.
The investigation of the "Jacobi shapes" for ⁴⁶Ti* and ¹²⁸Ba* nuclei.
The search of the hiperdeformation (A ~126). The properties of triaxial nuclei (A ~170).
