Statistical Models for Nuclear Decay - From Evaporation to Vaporization

Summary

Describes statistical models that are applied to the decay of atomic nuclei. This work presents introductions to statistical mechanics and nuclear physics, followed by a description of the historical developments, beginning with the application of the Bohr hypothesis by Weisskopf in 1937. It covers fusion, fission, and the Hauser-Festbach theory.
