Nuclear physics concepts in the study of atomic cluster physics

Atomic cluster physics has evolved into a research field of truly interdisciplinary character. In particular, it has become apparent that phenomena in atomic nuclei have many analogues in atomic clusters. Increasing the interaction between nuclear and cluster physics can thereforeact as stimulus for both communities. The volume contains the Proceedings of a WE-Heraeus workshop on "Nuclear Physics Concepts inAtomic Cluster Physics" held in Bad Honnef (Germany), November 26-29, 1991. Both theoretical and experimental methods and results are discussed in detail, thus providing the first systematic account of the intimate connections between both fields.
