Introduction to Nuclear Reactions

Zusatztext "? the book brilliantly fills a sort of gap in the field! one side of which we can find somehow more basic introductory books with only a limited development of the formalism ? and! on the other side! more specialised monographic studies. ? useful exercises were added for each subject." - Riccardo Raabe! Katholieke Universiteit Leuven "This book has the possibility of becoming a standard textbook in a graduate nuclear physics course. I like the mix of formalism and practical details and that physics is always kept in the forefront. ? each chapter has problems set at the end. Both researchers and students will find the book useful." - Subal Das Gupta! McGill University! Montreal! Canada Klappentext - Excellent textbook covering new developments and written for new graduate students. as Reviewers of the final manuscript say: "This book has the possibility of becoming a standard textbook in a graduate nuclear physics course. I like the mix of formalism and practical details and that physics is always kept in the forefront. I like that each chapter has problem set at the end. Both researchers and students will find the book useful." "This promises be a unique book! and the present authors have amply shown in their previous work that they are capable to write a book both scientifically and pedagogically in a competent and excellent way... I expect that this book will become a classic in the field! and widely read by the community! graduate students and experienced researchers alike." Zusammenfassung 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.
