An account of the structure of complex nuclei at low and intermediate excitation energies, in terms of quasiparticle and phonon operators. Integrates theoretical and experimental material, and so is of interest to scientists pursuing either approach to the subject. The topics include the solution of the nuclear many-body problem using the Hartree-Fock-Bogolubov method, the random phase approximation for electric and magnetic-type states, and the boson representation of fermion operators. Translated from the Russian. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
Unique in scope and treatment, Theory of Atomic Nuclei, Quasi-particle and Phonons gives a microscopic description of the structure of complex nuclei at low and intermediate excitation energies in terms of quasi-particle and phonon operators. A substantial quantity of modern experimental data is collected together and incorporated into the book to complement the theoretical treatment. This source book is an extremely useful research reference of the results of experimental work in the area.
