Nuclear Physics Concepts in the Study of Atomic Cluster Physics

Atomic cluster physics has evolved into a research field oftruly interdisciplinary character. In particular, it hasbecome apparent that phenomena in atomic nuclei have manyanalogues in atomic clusters. Increasing the interactionbetween nuclear and cluster physics can thereforeact asstimulus for both communities. The volume contains theProceedings of a WE-Heraeus workshop on "Nuclear PhysicsConcepts inAtomic Cluster Physics" held in Bad Honnef(Germany), November 26-29, 1991. Both theoretical andexperimental methods and results are discussed in detail,thus providing the first systematic account of the intimateconnections between both fields.
