Scientific paper

A review of collective phenomena in atomic and quasi-atomic systems is presented. The fundamental unity of the subject is stressed by appealing to a simple conceptual scheme, namely the Landau theory of wave propagation applied to a Fermi fluid. Collective giant resonances in nuclei, atoms, metallic clusters and fullerenes are all discussed and related to each other. Single-photon dipole, two-photon and quadrupole excitation are considered, as well as the observation of harmonics, and the enhancement of double excitations by a giant resonance. Other near-threshold phenomena are discussed, and experiments involving strong-field lasers are also considered in this context.
