Theoretical Nuclear And Subnuclear Physics

This book is a revised and updated version of the most comprehensive text on nuclear physics, first published in 1995. It maintains the original goal of providing a clear, logical, in-depth, and unifying treatment of modern nuclear theory, ranging from the nonrelativistic many-body problem to the standard model of the strong, electromagnetic, and weak interactions. In addition, new chapters on the theoretical and experimental advances made in nuclear physics in the past decade have been incorporated. Four key topics are emphasized: basic nuclear structure, the relativistic nuclear many-body problem, strong-coupling QCD, and electroweak interactions with nuclei. New chapters have been added on the many-particle shell model, effective field theory, density functional theory, heavy-ion reactions and quark-gluon plasma, and neutrinos.John Dirk Walecka is the author of 'Theoretical Nuclear And Subnuclear Physics', published 2004 under ISBN 9789812388988 and ISBN 9812388982.
