Present Status of the Microscopic Study of Low-Lying Collective States in Spherical and Transitional Nuclei

摘要

The history and the present status of the microscopic study of the low-lying collective excited states in spherical and transitional nuclei are discussed by putting emphasis on explaining the rather modern microscopic investigations of the concept of collective subspace. Importance of the dynamical interplay between the pairing and the quadrupole correlations is emphasized as a crucial element to mediate coupling between the collective and non-collective subspace.
