Abstract
The concept of individual nucleon levels is meaningful only as long as the interaction between nucleons is smaller than the distance between levels (with the same moment and parity), corresponding to different nucleon configurations. When the excitation energy increases, the density of levels grows sharply and the division of nucleons into shells loses all significance. This situation arises when we deal with a heavy nucleus and relatively high excitations.
