Spherical harmonics form a complete orthonormal basis which allows any function on the sphere to be expanded. The nuclear shape of a given eigenstate can thus be described within Bohr's quasi-molecular model by a coordinate transformation…
Nuclei exhibit both single-particle and collective degrees of freedom, with the latter often subdivided into vibrational and rotational motions. Experimentally identifying the relative roles of these collective modes is extremely…
