Abstract
The theory of nuclear level density is about as old as nuclear physics itself. Actually, many features of the models used in present days are already found in the famous article published by H.A. Bethe in 1937[1]. To a considerable extent, the theory of nuclear level density rests upon models which describe nuclei as made of independent objects, which may be nucleons or quasi-particles. In such a model, the evaluation of the level density is essentially a combinatorial problem.
