✦ Synopsis

The moment of inertia of hot nuclei is expanded in powers of the rotational frequency w. The first two expansion coefficients are determined for temperatures above Tc, where the equilibrium shape is spherical at w = 0. It is shown how the moment of inertia varies with temperature, rotational frequency, proton number, and neutron number. (~) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
