We review the development of random-matrix theory (RMT) during the last fifteen years. We
emphasize both the theoretical aspects, and the application of the theory to a number of …

The application of random-matrix theory (RMT) to compound-nucleus (CN) reactions is
reviewed. An introduction into the basic concepts of nuclear scattering theory is followed by …

Universal properties of simple quantum systems whose classical counter parts are chaotic,
are modeled by the classical random matrix ensembles and their interpolations …

In the last decade, there has been an increasing interest in the analysis of energy level
spectra and wave functions of nuclei, particles, atoms and other quantum many-body …

We present analytical and numerical results for the level density of a certain class of random
non-Hermitian matrices ℋ= H+ i Г. The conservative part H belongs to the Gaussian …

We study a transition from the localized to the delocalized phase in a novel sparse-random-
matrices (SRM) ensemble. Within the scope of a supersymmetric approach it can be …

▪ Abstract Experiments using slow neutrons address a growing range of scientific issues
spanning nuclear physics, particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. The field of …

Parity violation in the compound nucleus is reviewed as an example of a wider class of
phenomena: The breaking of a discrete symmetry by a weak interaction in a stochastic or …

The breaking of isospin symmetry influences the statistical spectral fluctuations
considerably, as shown by a recent experimental analysis of the low energy spectrum of 26 …

▪ Abstract A mesoscopic system with strong interaction between constituents, the atomic
nucleus is a good candidate for studying the manifestations of quantum chaos. Recent …
