The revised edition of this established work presents an extended
overview of recent applications of symmetry to the description of
atomic nuclei, including a pedagogical introduction to symmetry
concepts using simple examples. Following a historical overview of
the applications of symmetry in nuclear physics, attention turns to
more recent progress in the field. Special emphasis is placed on
the introduction of neutron-proton and boson-fermion degrees of
freedom. Their combination leads to a supersymmetric description of
pairs and quartets of nuclei. Expanded and updated throughout, the
book now features separate chapters on the nuclear shell model and
the interacting boson model, the former including discussion of
recent results on seniority in a single-j shell. Both theoretical
aspects and experimental signatures of dynamical (super)symmetries
are carefully discussed. This book focuses on nuclear structure
physics, but its broad scope makes it suitable for final-year or
post-graduate students and researchers interested in understanding
the power and beauty of symmetry methods in physics. Review of the
1st Edition: "The subject of this book, symmetries in physical
systems, with particular focus on atomic nuclei, is of the utmost
importance in modern physical science. In contrast to most
treatments, frequently characterized by fearsome formalism, this
book leads the reader step-by-step, in an easily understandable
way, through this fascinating field...this book is remarkably
accessible to both theorists and experimentalists. Indeed, I view
it as essential reading for experimental nuclear structure
physicists. This is one of the finest volumes on this subject I
have ever encountered." Prof. R.F. Casten, Yale University
