PREFACE
The International Symposium on Nuclear Structure Physics (NP2001) was
held in Gottingen Germany, March 5-8, 2001. The aim of the Symposium
was to discuss recent achievements and new initiatives for research in nuclear
structure and to celebrate the career of Peter von Brentano.
NP2001 covered a broad range of exciting topics, including collective and
proton-neutron excitations, phase transitions in nuclei, isospin, properties at
high and low angular momentum, recent developments of nuclear theory, stud-
ies of exotic nuclei far off stability, and the latest technological advances in
detector design. In all these fields, Peter von Brentano has been at the fore-
front of research. NP2001 honors his outstanding contributions.
All together there were 124 participants and 39 Invited Talks arranged into
7 sessions. In addition, there were a large number of Poster Presentations. The
excellent talks and posters and the active discussions reflect the renaissance of
interest and excitement in nuclear structure physics at the dawn of the new
millennium.
The present volume contains the texts for both the Invited Talks and the
Poster Presentations. We thank the authors for the prompt submission of
their manuscripts. This has made it possible to publish these Proceedings in
a timely way.
We are grateful to all those who contributed to the success of this cel-

ebratory Symposium. We thank the members of the International Advisory
Committee for their help in suggesting topics and speakers. We are grateful to
the University of Gottingen, especially its II. Physikalisches Institut, for help
in preparing and arranging the Symposium and, in particular, to the Local
Organizing Committee for making the Symposium flow so smoothly. A special
thanks must go to Lucie Hamdi, the Symposium Secretary, for her dedicated,
professional, and enthusiastic work in arranging virtually every aspect of the
Symposium. Without her efforts, the Symposium would not have been the
success it was. We are very grateful.
We are greatly appreciative, and are honored by, the generosity of Tremezza
von Brentano, the renowned artist, for providing the painting of Peter,
herself,
and a fish which furnished the basis for the Symposium poster and the cover of
this volume. We also acknowledge, with thanks, the wonderful a capella music
provided by the group I Dodici, on the occasion of the Symposium Banquet.
We could not have gone forward with the Symposium without the consider-
able financial support of a number of organizations. In particular, we thank the
Deutsches Bundesministerium fur Bildung und Forschung (BMBF), Deutsche
VI
Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), W. E. Heraeus-Stiftung, Land Niedersachsen
and Stadt Gottingen.
We hope the papers in this volume will reflect both the vitality and ex-
citement in the field of nuclear structure at this critical juncture in its history.

Peter von Brentano
KiiBnacht in der Schweiz
war sein Geburtsort,
und fiir jeden der's nicht weifi:
Peters Familie lebte in Emigration dort.
Doch bald nachdem der Krieg voriiber
gingen Brentanos nach Hause wieder,
und das war Wiesbaden in Hessen
wo Peter wurd' gepragt; er hat's nicht vergessen.
Als Rennfahrer versucht er sich,
drehte Stiirze ganz fiirchterlich.
Er war, ihr sollt's erfahren
'ne Art Schumi in jenen Jahren.
Lieber Peter, zu Deinem Geburtstag gebiihrt sich's,
dafi ich Dich besinge dichterisch,
denn wir beide waren zusammen,

s'ist
wahr
an Goethes Universitat die ersten Jahr.
Bei Cerny und Danzer horten wir Physik.
Hund war im Gehen, und so betrieben wir Mathematik
Moufang, Franz und Reinhold Baer, ihr sollt es wissen
gaben uns Fundamente, die wir mochten nicht missen.
Wir waren dort ein interessanter Club - hort zu
die Kegel-Briider, der Liineburg, der Peter und ich gehorte auch dazu.
Wir alle eiferten um die Wette,
und jeder fiir sich ging dann eigene Wege.
Auch Reinhard Selten ist nicht zu vergessen:
Als Mathematiker war er von der Wirtschaft besessen
und arbeitete mit viel Fleifi
bis hin zum Wirtschaftsnobelpreis.

Peter trug damals Jacken viel zu weit
und Hosen viel zu breit
gestiitzt durch Hosentrager
'ne tolle Personlichkeit, der Peter!
Nach dem Vordiplom hat' ich ein anderes Ziel:
uber Darmstadt war's Freiburg, wo es mir gefiel.
Doch Peter blieb bis zum Diplom
bei Schopper, dann ging audi er davon.
Wie ich ging er nach Siiden,
in Heidelberg fand er seinen Frieden.
Am dortigen Max Planck Institut
ging es ihm recht gut.
Gentner und Jensen, ich werdet es wissen:
Das Schalenmodell lafit griifien.

Die Kernspektroskopie gefiel
und war fortan sein Ziel.
Heidelberg war besonders bedeutsam:
Peter war dort nicht mehr einsam.
Brigitte mit ihrem Charm
umarmte ihn, und sein Herz wurde warm.
Brigitte, bekannt als Tremezza
in kiinstlerischen Kreisen,
schenkte ihm Herz und Ring da
und liefi' beide fur's Leben zusammen schweifien.
Obwohl er hatte zwei linke Hande,
fesselten ihn in Frankfurt und Heidelberg die Experimente.
Ich kannte ihn sehr mathematisch fixiert,
um so mehr hat mich seine Entscheidung konsterniert.
Doch er ging seinen Weg zielgerecht weiter
nach Seattle zu Blair und auch in Texas fand' er's heiter.
Im grofien Land Amerika
Brentanos fuhren Cadillac
