Download or read book Nuclei in the Cosmos written by Carlos A. Bertulani and published by World Scientific Publishing Company Incorporated. This book was released on 2013 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book discusses how stars generate their energy through nuclear reactions, and how elements are created in stars and during the big bang. The theory of thermonuclear reactions rates and their relevance for cosmology and stellar evolution are discussed in detail. Whenever possible, the book introduces the cosmological and astrophysical concepts necessary to understand the physics context of nuclear reactions and structure theory, thermonuclear reaction rate formalism and stellar nucleosynthesis. The book discusses the topics in a self-contained way and has several end-of-chapter exercises. It can be used as a reference book for researchers working in the field of nuclear astrophysics."--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book International Symposium on Nuclear Structure Physics written by Peter von Brentano and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2001 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear structure physics is undergoing a major revival, full of activities and excitement. On the experimental side, this is being made possible by advances in detector technology and accelerator capabilities that give access to data and nuclei (especially exotic nuclei far from stability) never before accessible. On the theoretical side, new concepts, ideas and computational techniques are advancing our understanding of effective interactions, nucleonic correlations, and symmetries of structure. This volume covers a broad range of topics on nuclear structure, including collective excitations, protonOConeutron excitation modes, phase transitions, signatures of structure, isospin, structure at both high and low angular momenta, recent developments in nuclear theory, the vast new realm of exotic nuclei far from the valley of stability, and the latest technological advances of detectors and facilities which will lead this branch of physics into the future. Contents: New Class of Dynamic Symmetries (F Iachello); Real Photon Scattering Close to the Neutron Threshold (A Zilges et al.); Decay Out of a Superdeformed Band (H A Weidenmller); Recent Developments of the Nuclear Shell Model (T Otsuka); Aspects of Nuclear Structure at Low Isospin (D D Warner); Isovector Valence Shell Excitations in Heavy Nuclei (N Pietralla); Structure of Nuclei Beyond the Dripline (M Thoennessen); Applications of High Resolution Gamma Spectroscopy in Low Energy Nuclear Structure Research (H G BArner et al.); Clusterization and Composite Symmetries (J Cseh); Recent Results from the Mistral Mass Measurement Program at Isolde (M de Saint Simon et al.); Big Bang Entropy (G S Ioannidis & C Syros); Phase Instabilities in Nuclear Matter and Droplet Formation (R Ogul & U Atav); and other papers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most attractive features of the young discipline of Space Science is that many of the original pioneers and key players involved are still available to describe their field. Hence, at this point in history we are in a unique position to gain first-hand insight into the field and its development. To this end, The Century of Space Science, a scholarly, authoritative, reference book presents a chapter-by-chapter retrospective of space science as studied in the 20th century. The level is academic and focuses on key discoveries, how these were arrived at, their scientific consequences and how these discoveries advanced the thoughts of the key players involved. With over 90 world-class contributors, such as James Van Allen, Cornelis de Jager, Eugene Parker, Reimar Lüst, and Ernst Stuhlinger, and with a Foreword by Lodewijk Woltjer (past ESO Director General), this book will be immensely useful to readers in the fields of space science, astronomy, and the history of science. Both academic institutions and researchers will find that this major reference work makes an invaluable addition to their collection.
