Description
Two of the most admirable traits of Bent Herskind were his intense curiosity and his lively imagination which were particularly evident when applied to the search for new physics and the development of new analysis techniques. In this presentation I will give an overview on the research carried out at the Niels Bohr Institute into extreme nuclear deformations (superdeformation, hyperdeformation, Jacobi shapes, etc.) and present some of the important discoveries made by Bent and his collaborators. Finally, I will present some of my own personal thoughts on what promising directions could be explored in the future to continue this important work.
