About this Item

: Este libro, basado en una serie de conferencias impartidas por Landau a físicos experimentales en Moscú en 1954, ofrece discusiones concisas y lúcidas sobre varios de los conceptos subyacentes más importantes de la física nuclear. Los autores, ambos físicos rusos destacados, limitan sus conclusiones sobre la estructura nuclear a aquellas basadas en datos experimentales, utilizando solo relaciones generales de la mecánica cuántica. A lo largo del libro, se enfatiza la claridad de las ideas físicas y la relación de los experimentos con la interpretación teórica. Entre los temas cubiertos se encuentran las fuerzas nucleares, incluyendo la dispersión de nucleones por nucleones y por altas energías, el modelo de partículas independientes de la estructura nuclear, la estructura del núcleo (núcleos ligeros y núcleos pesados), las reacciones nucleares (incluyendo la teoría estadística, el modelo óptico y las reacciones de deuterones), los piones y las interacciones de los piones con los nucleones.

About this title

Synopsis

"A real jewel of an elementary introduction into the main concepts of nuclear theory . . . should be in the hands of every student." — Nuclear Physics.
This highly regarded volume, based on a series of lectures given by Landau to experimental physicists in Moscow in 1954, offers concise, lucid discussions of a number of the most important underlying concepts of nuclear physics. The authors, both noted Russian physicists, limit their conclusions concerning nuclear structure to those based on experimental data, using only general quantum-mechanical relations.
Throughout, the emphasis is on clarity of physical ideas and on the relation of experiments to theoretical interpretation. Among the topics covered are nuclear forces, including the scattering of nucleons by nucleons and by high energies, the independent particle model of nuclear structure, the structure of the nucleus (light nuclei and heavy nuclei), nuclear reactions (including statistical theory, optical model, and deuteron reactions, pi-mesons, and interactions of pi-mesons with nucleons.
"Should prove a decidedly worthwhile addition to any experimental nuclear physicist's library. The book will also appeal to the specialist in other fields who desires insight into the problems of nuclear physics, and should be highly recommended to all physics graduate students." — Physics Today.

About the Author

Soviet physicist Lev Davidovich Landau (1908–68) made many contributions to theoretical physics, including the co-discovery of the density matrix method in quantum mechanics. He received the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physics for his development of a mathematical theory of super fluidity.
Prominent theorist Yakov Abramovich Smorodinsky (1917–92) worked at Moscow's Kurchatov Institute and the Joint Institute of Nuclear Research, Dubna. His chief interests involved the application of ideas from algebra and geometry to nuclear and particle physics.
