REVIEW: Exotic modes of excitation in atomic nuclei far from
stability by N. Paar, D. Vretenar, E. Khan, and G. Colo,
Rep. Prog. Phys. 70, 691 (2007).
Review is focused towards modern theoretical models for studies of multipole
response in unstable nuclei and possible occurrence of new exotic modes
of excitation in weakly-bound nuclear systems. Of particular interest are low-energy
dipole modes from stable nuclei to systems near the particle emission threshold,
various isoscalar modes, charge exchange excitations and their evolution in
neutron-rich nuclei, the role of exotic low-energy modes in astrophysical processes, etc.
University of Zagreb
The University of Zagreb
is one of the oldest universities in Europe, it
was officially founded on 23 September 1669 by Emperor and King
Leopold I Habsburg who issued a decree granting the status and
privileges of a university to the Jesuit Academy of the Royal
Free City of Zagreb. In naturalist field the teaching started
in 1896, with first lectures in mineralogy and geology, and then
in botanic, physics, mathematics, chemistry, zoology and geography.
Today, the University of Zagreb is the largest university in
Croatia with more than 50000 full-time students.
Physics Department
The Physics department at the
Faculty of Science has a
long tradition in teaching and in scientific research.
Since 1991, after moving to the new building on Horvatovac,
the Department had its renaissance. The new equipment considerably
improved the practical side of the education process and
experimental research. Studies of the Departments theoretical
physicists have led to new discoveries in the process of
neleptonic decay, research of cosmology of neutrino,
nuclear structures, theory of classic and quantum chaos,
low dimensional systems, and electron dynamics on the surfaces
of conductor and isolators. Since 2005, the Physics department
consolidated its transition towards Bologna system of study
programmes. Within the academic year around 700 students are
pursuing one of the various theoretical, experimental, computational
and educational physics programmes.
