Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dramatic progress has been made in all branches of physics since the National Research Council's 1986 decadal survey of the field. The Physics in a New Era series explores these advances and looks ahead to future goals. The series includes assessments of the major subfields and reports on several smaller subfields, and preparation has begun on an overview volume on the unity of physics, its relationships to other fields, and its contributions to national needs. Nuclear Physics is the latest volume of the series. The book describes current activity in understanding nuclear structure and symmetries, the behavior of matter at extreme densities, the role of nuclear physics in astrophysics and cosmology, and the instrumentation and facilities used by the field. It makes recommendations on the resources needed for experimental and theoretical advances in the coming decade.

Download or read book Nuclear Reactions written by I. E. McCarthy and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear Reactions deals with the mechanisms of nuclear reactions and covers topics ranging from quantum mechanics and the compound nucleus to the optical model, nuclear structure and nuclear forces, and direct interactions. The structure of the atomic nucleus and capture of slow neutrons are also discussed, along with nuclear reactions at high energies, neutron capture and nuclear constitution, and elastic and inelastic diffraction scattering. This book is comprised of 17 chapters and begins with an overview of early successes and difficulties experienced by nuclear physics as a discipline, paying particular attention to early applications of quantum mechanics and reactions with neutrons. The next chapter explores the compound nuclear and considers the theory of Breit and Wigner, resonances in nuclear reactions, and the statistical model or compound nucleus model. The reader is methodically introduced to the optical model and elastic scattering experiments; nuclear structure and nuclear forces; and direct interactions. The remaining chapters look at the theory of the effect of resonance levels on artificial disintegration; fluctuations of nuclear reaction widths; scattering of high-energy neutrons by nuclei; and regularities in the total cross-sections for fast neutrons. This monograph will be a useful resource for nuclear scientists and physicists as well as undergraduate students who have taken a first course in quantum mechanics.
Download or read book Nuclear Structure In 2 Volumes written by Bohr Aage Niels and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 1998-01-22 with total page 1256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The field has expanded in so many directions, in connection with the increase in accessible energy, angular momentum, and nuclear species, and the new phenomena, which have been revealed, have stimulated conceptual developments concerning the significant degrees of freedom and their interplay in nuclear dynamics ... it would be impossible for us to provide an assessment of this vastly expanded subject with anything like the degree of comprehensiveness aimed at in the original text. At the same time, this text continues to describe the basis for the understanding of nuclear structures as we see it today ...'foreword from the new prefaceAfter many years, this classic two-volume treatise is now available again in an unabridged reprint. These volumes present the basic features of nuclear structure in terms of an integration of collective and independent particle aspects and remain a foundation for current efforts in the field. Central to the book's value is an approach that recognizes the many connections between concepts of nuclear physics and those of other many-body systems, and that deals boldly with the interplay between theory and experiment. Aside from the main text, which provides a systematic exposition of the subject, there are sections labeled ';Illustrative Examples';, which present detailed analyses of experimental results and the manner in which they illuminate the concepts developed in the text. Many useful appendices on general theoretical tools are also included, covering topics such as angular momentum algebra, symmetry problems, statistical description of level densities, and theory of nuclear reactions and decays.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Conference on "Nuclear Structure Study with Neutrons" or ganized in Budapest between 31st July and 5th August. 1972. was the successor of a meeting held seven years ago in Antwerp. The close links between the two conferences were revealed not in name alone but. more importantly. in the choice of subjects discussed. As in Antwerp. the lectures and contributions to the Budapest Conference could be grouped under the following five main headings: nuclear spectroscopy; the optical model; the statistical model and intermediate structures; the mechanism of neutron capture and non-statistical effects; and, finally. miscellaneous special topics. The invited papers on the one hand summarizing recent developments and current thinking in one of the above main topics. and the other surveying the most important results of the contributed papers submitted to the Conference. were presented on the plenary sessions. Most of the contributed papers were read in full on three parallel sessions. This volume contains the complete text of all the lectures delivered in the plenary sessions and abstracts of the contributed papers. The invited talks were presented at the Conference in a rather random order because of technical reasons, it seemed. however, more sensible to change their order according to their subjects and to print them grouped under the above main headings. Further more we divided the Proceedings into two main parts, the first containing only the lectures of summarizing character. the second including the abstracts of the contributions together with the surveying talks.

Book excerpt: Nuclear Structure Theory provides a guide to nuclear structure theory. The book is comprised of 23 chapters that are organized into four parts; each part covers an aspect of nuclear structure theory. In the first part, the text discusses the experimentally observed phenomena, which nuclear structure theories need to look into and detail the information that supports those theories. The second part of the book deals with the phenomenological nucleon-nucleon potentials derived from phase shift analysis of nucleon-nucleon scattering. Part III talks about the phenomenological parameters used to describe their various nuclear models. The last part of the book deals with the technology of nuclear structure theory. The book will be of great use to nuclear physicists who wish to gain a better understanding of the nuclear structure theory.
Download or read book Growth Points in Nuclear Physics written by P. E. Hodgson and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growth Points in Nuclear Physics, Volume 2 covers the progress in the fields of nuclear structure and nuclear reactions. This book is composed of three chapters. The first chapter is devoted to nuclear forces and potentials, in particular the optical model potential that enables the elastic scattering of many particles by nuclei to be calculated in a very simple manner. This chapter also deals with the three-body forces and the spin dependence of the nuclear potential. The second chapter describes higher order processes involving two or more stages, specifically their intrinsic interest and the effect they can have on the total cross-section. The third chapter examines heavy ion reactions, one of the most prominent growth areas of contemporary nuclear physics. Heavy ion reactions are particularly sensitive to some features of nuclear structure, and thus constitute a powerful tool in nuclear structure research. This book will prove useful to nuclear physicists.

Download or read book High Energy Physics and Nuclear Structure written by S. Devons and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 898 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In preparing the program for this Conference, the third in the series, it soon became evident that it was not possible to in clude in a conference of reasonable duration all the topics that might be subsumed under the broad title, "High Energy Physics and Nuclear Structure. " From their initiation, in 1963, it has been as much the aim of these Conferences to provide some bridges between the steadily separating domains of particle and nuclear physics, as to explore thoroughly the borderline territory between the two - the sort of no-man's-land that lies unclaimed, or claimed by both sides. The past few years have witnessed the rapid development of many new routes connecting the two major areas of 'elementary par ticles' and 'nuclear structure', and these now spread over a great expanse of physics, logically perhaps including the whole of both subjects. (As recently as 1954, an International Conference on 'Nuclear and Meson Physics' did, in fact, embrace both fields!) Since it is not now possible to traverse, in one Conference, this whole network of connections, still less to explore the entire ter ritory it covers, the choice of topics has to be in some degree arbitrary. It is hoped that ours has served the purpose of fairly exemplifying many areas where physicists, normally separated by their diverse interests, can find interesting and important topics which bring them together.
Download or read book Nuclear Theory written by Judah M. Eisenberg and published by Elsevier Science & Technology. This book was released on 1987 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hardbound. Twenty years have passed since work began on this three-volume series in nuclear theory. During that time span the subject matter has changed enormously. Where volume two is concerned this period has seen the unification of its two main topics - electromagnetic interactions and weak interactions - and a consolidation of the theoretical treatment of strongly-interacting nuclear probes. Thus this third edition incorporates a new chapter on electroweak interactions in their unified form, and a new chapter on nuclear reaction theory, as well as numerous smaller changes to update the material. The subject matter is presented in detail and is closely reasoned so that the book is particularly suitable for use in graduate-level nuclear physics courses, as well as being of value to research workers in this field.
Download or read book Spins in Nuclear and Hadronic Reactions written by Hiroyuki Yabu and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2000 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spin physics is one of the most important and active areas of theoretical/experimental nuclear physics. In nuclear reactions, the observations of spin polarizations give important clues to the nuclear structures and reaction mechanism. For high energy nuclear physics, the polarized quark-parton distributions of the nucleon/nucleus are studied intensively. In the study of baryon structures and nuclear astrophysics, spin is an important observable through hadron reactions. The focus of these proceedings is on the spin-dependent phenomena in nuclear and hadronic reactions and related topics in nuclear and hadron physics. The main subjects covered are: Spin polarization phenomena in nuclear and hadronic reactions; spin-dependent excitations in nuclei and spin observables; recent development in nuclear reaction theories; spin-dependent phenomena in fundamental processes; related topics.
Download or read book Nuclear Physics at Low Renormalization Group Resolution written by Anthony J. Tropiano and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low-energy nuclear physics encompasses the physics of many-body systems of protons and neutrons (nucleons) ranging from atomic nuclei to neutron stars. Experimental facilities, such as the Facility of Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), seek to answer overarching questions central to our understanding of atomic nuclei, astrophysics, and fundamental symmetries, such as the origin of heavy elements. Theoretical approaches face the challenge of describing this wide range of physics starting from the force between nucleons. Traditionally, low-energy nuclear theory is split into structure and reaction theory, where the former deals with the static properties of nuclei and the latter with dynamic nuclear processes. Understanding the interplay of reaction and structure theory is critical for reliable predictions and analysis of FRIB experiments. The renormalization group (RG) allows for consistent treatments of reaction and structure. RG transformations continuously shift the resolution scale of structure and reaction components (i.e., wave functions and reaction operators) under a specified scheme, where the resolution scale corresponds to the largest momentum of low-energy wave functions, and the scheme reflects the details of the starting Hamiltonian and RG implementation. Observable quantities are invariant under RG transformations, though structure and reaction components individually depend on the RG resolution scale and scheme. We can take advantage of this latter RG dependence by shifting the resolution scale to make complicated problems feasible. RG transformations decouple low- and high-energy scales in nuclear interactions, facilitating large-scale nuclear structure approaches that rely on many-body basis expansions. The RG has widely been applied to nuclear structure, but not to nuclear reactions or the combination of the two. RG transformations can facilitate nuclear reaction approaches by simplifying initial and final states in transition matrix elements, where RG-transformed reaction operators gain induced many-body contributions. Process-independent quantities (e.g., momentum distributions) can be extracted from experiment via a factorization of nuclear structure components and the reaction operators (the probe), but as a result of factorization, are scale and scheme dependent. The RG provides a natural tool for handling this scale and scheme dependence, which is crucial for interpreting experiments and comparing extracted quantities to theory. This thesis demonstrates each of these points by using the similarity RG (SRG) to transform chiral effective field theory (EFT) or phenomenological interactions, and their associated operators, to low RG resolution. We explore aspects of operator evolution that have particular relevance in the context of scale and scheme dependence of nuclear processes. These aspects include SRG implementations based on the Magnus expansion, band- versus block-diagonal operator flow, universality for chiral EFT interactions and associated operators with different regularization schemes, and the impact of factorization arising from scale separation. We show how the features of short-range correlation phenomenology are cleanly identified at low RG resolution using simple two-body operators and local-density approximations with uncorrelated wave functions, all of which can be systematically generalized. We verify that the experimental consequences to date follow directly at low RG resolution from well-established properties of nuclear interactions. We describe the quasi-deuteron model at low RG resolution and determine the Levinger constant, which is proportional to the ratio of nuclear photo-absorption to that for photo-disintegration of a deuteron. Implications for consistently extracting spectroscopic factors in electron-induced proton knock-out reactions are discussed. The results of this thesis contribute to a broader effort to model processes relevant to FRIB, such as knock-out or break-up reactions.

Download or read book Introduction to Nuclear Reactions written by C.A. Bertulani and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-01-04 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until the publication of Introduction to Nuclear Reactions, an introductory reference on nonrelativistic nuclear reactions had been unavailable. Providing a concise overview of nuclear reactions, this reference discusses the main formalisms, ranging from basic laws to the final formulae used to calculate measurable quantities. Well known in their fields, the authors begin with a discussion of scattering theory followed by a study of its applications to specific nuclear reactions. Early chapters give a framework of scattering theory that can be easily understood by the novice. These chapters also serve as an introduction to the underlying physical ideas. The largest section of the book comprises the physical models that have been developed to account for the various aspects of nuclear reaction phenomena. The final chapters survey applications of the eikonal wavefunction to nuclear reactions as well as examine the important branch of nuclear transport equations. By combining a thorough theoretical approach with applications to recent experimental data, Introduction to Nuclear Reactions helps you understand the results of experimental measurements rather than describe how they are made. A clear treatment of the topics and coherent organization make this information understandable to students and professionals with a solid foundation in physics as well as to those with a more general science and technology background.
Download or read book The Nuclear Cooper Pair written by Grégory Potel Aguilar and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-28 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents a unified theory of nuclear structure and nuclear reactions in the language of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman diagrams. It describes how two-nucleon transfer reaction processes can be used as a quantitative tool to interpret experimental findings with the help of computer codes and nuclear field theory. Making use of Cooper pair transfer processes, the theory is applied to the study of pair correlations in both stable and unstable exotic nuclei. Special attention is given to unstable, exotic halo systems, which lie at the forefront of the nuclear physics research being carried out at major laboratories around the world. This volume is distinctive in dealing in both nuclear structure and reactions and benefits from comparing the nuclear field theory with experimental observables, making it a valuable resource for incoming and experienced researchers who are working in nuclear pairing and using transfer reactions to probe them.
