Abstract
We provide a semiclassical description of the shell structure in large prolate cavities. Level densities and shell-correction energies are o btained from periodic orbit theory, using a version of Gutzwiller's tr ace formula that takes into account continuous symmetries. The semicla ssical results are compared to their quantum-mechanical counterparts.
