Zusatztext "On the In a Nutshell series: "Both the publishers and the editors and the authors deserve our gratitude for such a high-profile series that has been designed to bring out the highest quality texts on subjects ranging from astrophysics! nuclear physics! and string theory! to particle physics! neutrino physics! electromagnetism! and magnetism. Dear Readers: is this not enough for you!"" Informationen zum Autor Carlos A. Bertulani is Research Professor of Physics at the University of Tennessee and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He is the author of Physics of Radioactive Nuclear Beams, Introduction to Nuclear Physics , and Introduction to Nuclear Reactions . Klappentext "The particular attraction of this book is the detail with which it provides, in one place, all of the essential physics required for an understanding of the field. An excellent piece of scholarship, it will come to be regarded as an essential text for beginning graduate physics study. Indeed, I know of no other modern treatment other than this that goes to such lengths, and within this context it is indeed a tour de force." --David A. Bradley, University of Surrey "This book does a fine job of developing three topics--hadrons, nuclei, and stars--that are often covered separately, and bringing them together in an appealing way in the context of real physical systems. Remarkably self-contained, with helpful, unobtrusive appendices, it develops most physical concepts from start to finish. It can be used for a course on stellar physics, nuclear physics, or advanced quantum mechanics." --Savas Dimopoulos, Stanford University Zusammenfassung Provides an overview of the atomic nucleus and the theories that seek to explain it. Bringing together an explanation of hadrons, nuclei, and stars, this work helps graduate and advanced undergraduate students of physics to acquire a understanding of nuclear and particle science.
