Scientific activities:

The nuclear structure theory group works in close collaboration with the group at the Warsaw Institute of Technology (Prof. Stefan Cwiok, Dr. Wanda Dudek, and Dr. Piotr Magierski) and with Dr. Weronika P\lóciennik of the So\ltan Institute of Nuclear Studies. In 1999 we lost our teacher, friend, and collaborator; on September 5, 1999 Professor Zdzis\law Szymanski, the father of nuclear theory in Poland, passed away during the Nuclear Physics Summer School in Krzyze. He was actively doing research till his very last days. We shall always remember him.

During past several years we worked on numerous scientific projects, some of them within the grant of the Polish Committee for Scientific Research, No. 2 P03B 040 14. Our activity is focused on investigating the following main research directions:



Scientific achievements:

In 1998 and 1999, five members of our nuclear structure theory group have published 30 papers in refereed periodicals (see the list below), and have presented 31 invited talks and 14 contributions at international conferences. During this period of time we have realized the following main research projects:

International cooperation:

The nuclear structure theory group collaborates very intensely with the theory groups at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (USA), University of Knoxville (USA), University of Strasbourg (France), Stockholm University (Sweden), GANIL Laboratory (France), and many others. We participate on a regular basis in the activities of the European Centre for Theoretical Nuclear Physics in Trento (Italy) and of the Institute of Nuclear Theory in Seattle (USA).
