Abstract
There are many phenomena in nuclear physics that depend on large changes of the nuclear shape. This includes spectroscopic properties, hindered transitions, and particle decay processes. Here I survey these properties and also give a brief summary of the microscopic theories for shape dynamics, emphasizing the key role of the pairing interaction. A simplified model of the dynamics, the hopping model, treats only the pairing, but reproduces more sophisticated generator coordinate calculations and has been been extrensively applied to the different physical phenomena.
