3 Definition of level density Level density and state density The link between the level density and thermodynamics The level density gives the number of levels as a function of excitation energy of the nucleus. -1 Level density ρ (E (MeV Preliminary Oslo data Known levels ack-shifted Fermi gas ρ from neutron res. data 163 Preliminary Excitation energy E (MeV Excitation energy E (MeV Hilde-Therese Nyhus Thermodynamics of the nucleus 3
4 Definition of level density Level density and state density The link between the level density and thermodynamics The density of states is proportional to the density of levels plus a spin dependent factor: Ω(E I + 1 ρ(e (1 The spin distribution is apprximated by a Gaussian, with mean value: I + 1 = πσ ( where, σ E 1/ (3 The spin dependency is weak. We define: Ω(E = ρ(e/ρ ( Hilde-Therese Nyhus Thermodynamics of the nucleus
5 The micro-canonical or canonical ensamble? The nuclear force has a short range and the nucleus does not normally share its excitation energy with its surroundings Isolated system Isolated system - Gives results which is not observed in stable microscopic systems (C v, T < System in contact with a heat bath - What heat bath?

14 Two different physical systems which produce different results, and which indicate different phase transitions in different regions. The canonical ensemble display average properties single quasi-particle effects does not show. The importance of pair breaking does not come to light. The results obtained have to be interpreted in another way than in macroscopic systems. Hilde-Therese Nyhus Thermodynamics of the nucleus 1
