“…The existence of pear-shaped deformations in the actinide nuclei is manifested by the existence of parity doublet states and corresponding parity doublet bands. These experimental findings are supported by theoretical studies [6]. Neutron-rich isotopes of Rn, Fr, Ra, Ac, Th and Pa in the 218 < A < 230 region are predicted to be reflection asymmetric in the ground states.…”

A suggestion to improve upper limits on the existence of dipole moments in atoms is discussed. Parity and time reversal violating components in the nuclear force may produce P, T-odd moments in nuclei which, in turn, induce such moments in atoms. In order to improve the sensitivity, one must use atoms with a high Z. Atoms with nuclei that have both quadrupole and octupole deformations in the ground state have enhanced Schiff moments when there are forces that violate the time reversal and reflection symmetries. These Schiff moments produce enhanced dipole moments in the atom.

“…In recent years, new experimental data exhibiting coexistence of different shapes (like spherical, prolate, oblate and triaxial shapes) in the same energy region (of the same nucleus) have been obtained in low-energy spectra of nuclei in various regions of a nuclear chart (see [2,3] for reviews and [4][5][6] for examples of recent data). These data indicate that the shape coexistence is a universal phenomenon representing essential features of the nucleus.…”

Construction of the microscopic theory of large-amplitude collective motion, capable of describing a wide variety of quantum collective phenomena in nuclei, is a long-standing and fundamental subject in the study of nuclear manybody systems. Present status of the challenge toward this goal is discussed taking the shape coexistence/mixing phenomena as typical manifestations of the large-amplitude collective motion at zero temperature. Some open problems in rapidly rotating cold nuclei are also briefly discussed in this connection.
