Symmetries in atomic nuclei from isospin to supersymmetry /

"Symmetries in Atomic Nuclei" aims to present an overview of recent applications of symmetry to the description of atomic nuclei. Special care is given to a pedagogical introduction of symmetry concepts using simple examples. After a historical overview of the applications of symmetry in n...
