Symmetries in Atomic Nuclei : From Isospin to Supersymmetry Symmetries in Atomic Nuclei aims to present an overview of recent applications of symmetry to the description of atomic nuclei. Special care is given to a pedagogical introduction of symmetry concepts using simple examples. After a historical overview of the applications of symmetry in nuclear physics progress in the field during the last decade is reviewed. Special emphasis is put on the introduction of neutron proton and boson fermion degrees of freedom. Their combination leads to a supersymmetric description of pairs and quartets of nuclei.Both theoretical aspects and experimen
