Rotation-induced transition from superfluid to normal phase in mesoscopic systems: 168Yb and adjacent nuclei.
The transition from strong static pairing to weak static pairing and its consequences to the excitation spectrum of a mesoscopic (medium number of particles) system are investigated. New levels have been measured in [sup 168]Yb. A reasonable description of the [ital A][approx]168 isotopes spectra is obtained. The adequacy of the phase transition concept is discussed.

Shears bands in Pb-193
Four bands of enhanced dipole transitions, with weak crossovers, have been observed in Pb-195. Three of these bands are connected to the spherical levels. in addition, the spherical level scheme ha ...

ONSET OF COLLECTIVITY IN NEUTRON-DEFICIENT PO-196,PO-198
We have studied via in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy Po-196 and Po-198, which are the first neutron-deficient Po isotopes to exhibit a collective low-lying structure. The ratios of yrast state energi ...

Lifetimes of the decay from superdeformed to normal deformed in 135Nd.
Lifetimes of low-spin members of the superdeformed band in [sup 135]Nd have been determined by the Doppler-shift recoil-distance method. We find a quadrupole moment of 7.2[sub [minus]1.5][sup +1.2] b for the 677 keV (37/2- 33) / 2 transition in the band, confirming the large deformation previously measured by the Doppler-shift attenuation method. However, the quadrupole moment for the 620 keV transition deexciting the 3.324 MeV (25/2) state at the bottom of the band is much smaller. We conclude that the superdeformed potential-energy minimum disappears or the band drastically changes character at this point which causes the sudden depopulation.

Soft covariant gauges on the lattice.
We present an exploratory study of a one-parameter family of covariant, nonperturbative lattice gauge-fixing conditions that can be implemented through a simple Monte Carlo algorithm. We demonstrate that at the numerical level the procedure is feasible, and as a first application we examine the gauge dependence of the gluon propagator. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
