Ig. Kaplan, COMPARATIVE DISCUSSION OF THE GIANT-RESONANCE PHENOMENON IN NUCLEI, ATOMS, ATOMIC CLUSTERS, AND CONDENSED MEDIA, Czechoslovak journal of Physics, 48(6-7), 1998, pp. 763-768
Comparative discussion of the properties of giant resonances in nuclei
, atoms, atomic clusters, and condensed media, are presented. The main
conclusion: the existence of the giant resonance phenomenon does not
depend on the nature of the particles and the interparticle forces. Th
e necessary conditions are: the particles must be moving in a confinin
g potential and the number of them should not be small.
