The concept of vibrational modes of excitation of the nuclear surface, known as phonons, was developed in the early 1950s by A. Bohr and B. Mottelson within their collective model. The observed pattern of level excitation energies and spins for nuclei believed to have a spherical shape appeared consistent with the picture of multiphonon excitations. With the confirmation of the collective...
