Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive review of the evolution of the nuclear shape concept, a cornerstone in nuclear physics. Tracing its historical development from the early 20th century, we highlight key milestones and paradigm shifts that have shaped our understanding. The review explores the transition from the initial spherical model to the introduction of nuclear deformation, emphasizing the contributions of the liquid drop model and the unified model. The pivotal role of nuclear shapes in elucidating various nuclear phenomena and their profound impact on both theoretical and experimental nuclear physics are discussed in depth. The article underscores the relevance of nuclear shape in contemporary physics, particularly in light of groundbreaking findings from ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. These recent results illustrate the enduring significance of nuclear shape in advancing our comprehension of nuclear structure and reactions.

核形状概念的历史
这篇文章提供了一个全面的审查核形状概念的演变,在核物理学的基石。从20世纪初开始追溯其历史发展,我们强调了影响我们理解的关键里程碑和范式转变。回顾了从最初的球形模型到引入核变形的转变,强调了液滴模型和统一模型的贡献。讨论了核形状在解释各种核现象中的关键作用及其对理论和实验核物理学的深远影响。这篇文章强调了核形状在当代物理学中的相关性,特别是在超相对论重离子碰撞的突破性发现的基础上。这些最近的结果说明了核形状在促进我们对核结构和反应的理解方面的持久意义。
