This volume discusses some of the main achievements and perspectives of nuclear structure physics for both experiment and theory. The main themes are: spectroscopy of exotic nuclei; from nucleon-nucleon interaction to nuclear structure; recent developments in the study of collective excitations; nuclear structure physics in other research fields.

This volume is devoted to achievements and challenges in the field of nuclear structure. The contributing physicists cover both experimental and theoretical issues at the forefront of research. The papers are taken from the 7th International Spring Seminar on Nuclear Physics, 2001.

This volume contains the proceedings of the conference held in Cortona, October 6-9, 2004, that was organized as part of the project "Theoretical Physics of Nuclei and Many-Body Systems" involving 17 Italian Universities and sponsored by the Italian Ministery of Research and University. All invited papers on the main subjects of the project as well as all the individual contributions on special topics are included. As such these proceedings review the work performed in the last two years by the participating Italian community of nuclear theorists. In addition, in a panel international...

Key Topics in Nuclear Structure is the eighth in a well established series of conferences and is devoted to the discussion of significant topics in nuclear structure. Both experimental and theoretical issues at the forefront of current research on the subject are covered by leading physicists. In particular, on the experimental side the state of the art and the envisaged developments in the most important laboratories, where rare isotope beams are available, are reviewed in detail. On the theoretical side, the various approaches to a fundamental theory of nuclear structure starting from the...
