Atomic & Nuclear Physics

Making modern data more accessible, this book explores the interactions with matter of energetic particles, including photons, electrons, protons, alpha particles, and neutrons. It presents quantities of interest in many applications, such as cross sections, charged particle stopping powers, electro..

This comprehensive text explores the latest techniques for producing a beam from any substance as well as from the dissociation of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and the halogens. Focusing on practical application in the laboratory, the author critically reviews over 800 references to compare the atomi..

This volume provides an overview of the state of the art in computational accelerator physics, based on papers presented at the seventh international conference at Michigan State University, October 2002. It covers topics such as particle tracking and ray tracing, transfer map methods, methods for s..

Electron and Photon Impact Ionisation and Related Topics 2002 provides an overview of recent international research in the field of ionization by electron and photon impact. Emphasizing multi-particle coincidence studies, such as (e,2e), (e,3e), ionization-excitation, and double photo-ionization, th..

Revised and updated, the first volume of this bestselling set provides an accessible and practical introduction to the first gauge theory included in the Standard Model of particle physics: quantum electrodynamics (QED). It includes a new chapter on Lorentz transformations and discrete symmetries in..

Revised and updated, the second volume of this bestselling set provides an accessible and practical introduction to the two non-Abelian quantum gauge field theories of the Standard Model of particle physics. Covering much of the experimental progress made in the last ten years, this volume includes ..

With the latest developments in fusion and x-ray astronomy research relying heavily on high-quality atomic data, the need for precise, up-to-date spectroscopic techniques is as vital now as it has ever been. This timely handbook brings together many of the techniques and ideas needed to carry out st..

This book covers the discovery and early uses of deuterium before World War II and its large-scale production by Norsk Hydro in Norway, especially under German control. It also discusses the French-German race for the Norwegian heavy-water stocks in 1940 and heavy water's importance for the subseque..

Clearly progressing from an elementary level to the state of the art, this text focuses on the physics of the interactions of ionizing radiation in living matter and the Monte Carlo simulation of radiation tracks. It explores the classical physics of track description as well as modern aspects based..

This publication is devoted to discussing the interaction between hadrons with nuclei. Experimental data and the methods and results of the calculation of probabilities of various processes initiated by intermediate-energy hadrons in nuclei are discussed. In addition, new issues, such as polarizatio..
