Book excerpt: The primary emphasis of the Seminar is on the modes of excitation in both spherical and deformed nuclei. Several topics at the forefront of current research in nuclear structure are covered by leading physicists. The main themes are: Single-particle and Collective Degrees of Freedom in Low-energy Modes of Excitation, The Nature of High-spin States in Deformed and Spherical Nuclei and The Role of Giant Resonances in Nuclear Structure.
