Fluctuation properties of spacings of low-lying nuclear levels

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Hadrons and Nuclei

Abstract

Fluctuation properties have been analyzed for a large collection of low-lying nuclear energy levels, with emphasis on the nearest-neighbor spacing distributions. The levels are combined in several ways to search for effects due to mass, spin, and shape. A strong mass dependence appears to be present, and there are suggestions of effects due to spin and deformation.
