This book is the first monograph dedicated to the use of the total absorption technique in beta decay studies. It provides a detailed introduction to the beta decay process and all necessary know-how for the use of the total absorption technique.
Total absorption spectroscopy (TAS) is the one of the very few techniques available that can provide nuclear decay data free from the Pandemonium effect (the systematic error causes the assignment of larger beta-decay probabilities than the real values to the lower lying levels). This book covers all aspects related to the use of this technique, from the preparation of an experiment to the algorithms required in the analysis of the data acquired. It also covers the most relevant applications of the technique, from nuclear structure (comparison with nuclear models, determination of nuclear shapes) to nuclear astrophysics and other more applied purposes such as the prediction of reactor decay heat and the primary antineutrino spectrum from nuclear reactors.

About the Author
Dr. Alejandro Algora has been working since 1990 in the field of nuclear physics. He received his PhD from the Kossuth Lajos University in Debrecen (Hungary), where he also did his university studies. He has worked at the Institute of Nuclear Research of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Debrecen, Hungary, at the Laboratory Nazionale de Legnaro, Legnaro, Italy, and at the Instituto de Física Corpuscular, Valencia, Spain. Dr. Algora is an expert in a variety of aspects in nuclear spectroscopy. He has also worked in theoretical models of atomic nuclei. He has applied his knowledge to tackle a number of problems in nuclear structure and practical applications to nuclear power. He has published extensively in the major international journals of nuclear physics and he is regularly invited to deliver talks about his work at international conferences and workshops. He has acted as spokesperson and has led many experiments at major facilities around the World. Dr. Algora has also been a member of international committees in a variety of different countries. His current interests are focused in beta decay studies of very exotic nuclei, their importance in explosive nuclear processes in stars, their impact on practical applications related to the operation of nuclear reactors, the handling of nuclear waste and the prediction of the antineutrino spectrum from reactors.
Berta Rubio is affiliated with the CSIC (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas) and the Instituto Física Corpuscular (IFIC) in Valencia, Spain. After a brief spell as a researcher in Granada she then moved to IFIC where she founded the Gamma Ray Spectroscopy work together with Jose-Luis Taín. Her research interests are firmly rooted in spectroscopy. Her experiments have involved studies of both radioactive decays and nuclear reactions and they have a focus on measurements that provide clear tests of the predictions of nuclear models and theories. She has been spokesperson for and has led many experiments at laboratories around the World. She has a number of current interests. Beta Decay and Charge Exchange are complementary processes even although they are mediated by the weak and strong interactions respectively. She has used this to pursue a number of interesting problems in N~ Z nuclei relating to isospin. She also works on radioactive decays of exotic nuclei close to the limit that can be studied at present. She has been prominent in Spain in advocating strong involvement in the new generation of radioactive beam facilities under construction around the world. She has played a strong role in helping to build the programme of the Future FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) under construction in Darmstadt. She has published extensively in leading journals and has given many invited talks at International Conferences, Workshops and Schools.
Jose Luis Taín studied as an undergraduate at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain before received his Ph.D. at Granada, Spain on the basis of research in Nuclear Physics at KFA, Julich in Germany. He was a research assistant at Julich before becoming an Assistant Professor at Granada. He then became a tenured scientist working for the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) in the Instituto Fisica Corpuscular (IFIC) in Valencia, where he has worked ever since. At IFIC he started the Gamma Ray Spectroscopy group together with Berta Rubio. His research interests have spanned a wide range of topics in low energy nuclear physics. In recent years he has concentrated his efforts on the study of beta decays far from the line of nuclear stability using total absorption gamma ray spectrometers and neutron detectors. The topics studies lie in the fields of nuclear structure (evolution of shell structure), nuclear technology (reactor decay heat and delayed neutron fractions of importance in reactors), astrophysics (s- and r-process) and fundamental physics (reactor antineutrino spectrum). He has contributed to a variety of committees devoted to the development of equipment for the new accelerator facilities under construction in Europe. He has published some 260 articles of which ~ 150 are in international refereed journals. He has also made a large contribution to the National Postgraduate School for nuclear physics in Spain.
William Gelletly is an Emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of Surrey, U.K. He has worked at Edinburgh University, Chalk River Nuclear laboratory in Canada, Brookhaven National Laboratory, U.S.A, Manchester University and Daresbury Laboratory, U.K. as well as the University of Surrey. At Daresbury he was Head of the Nuclear Structure facility for five years. From there he moved to Surrey where he was first Head of the Physics department, then Head of the School of Physics and Chemistry. His main research interests have been in studies of nuclear structure involving reactions induced by neutrons, light and heavy ions. This is complemented by experiments on the radioactive decay of exotic nuclei. In addition, he has maintained a keen interest in atomic physics, particularly processes involving the interaction of atomic electrons with the nucleus. Measurements of the antineutrino spectra from the main components of nuclear reactor fuel have also been part of his research activity. He has served on a wide range of advisory committees in the UK and other countries, as well as the EU. For eight years he served on the Board of the Health Protection Agency in England and Wales where he chaired its technical sub-committee on Chemical radiation and environmental hazards. In recent years he has advocated the building of accelerator facilities for the production of beams of radioactive nuclei, particularly in the U.K.

I. Standard business terms
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions of business apply for all contracts concluded with us as the supplier (preigu GmbH & Co. KG) via the websites AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of your own terms and conditions is explicitly rejected.
(2) A ‘consumer' in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities. The term ‘businessman' refers to every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject-matter of the contract is the selling of products .
(2) If an article is placed by us with AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the page on AbeBooks or ZVAB shall involve the binding offer to conclude a contract under the terms and conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract shall become effective via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The products intended for purchase are moved to the "shopping cart". You can select the "Shopping Cart" using the appropriate buttons on the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering the required personal data and payment and shipping conditions, all order information is then displayed again on the order summary page.
Before submitting the order, you have the ability once more to review or change any information here (you may also use the "back" button on the Internet browser), or to cancel the purchase.
