Riassunto

This book-and-CD-software package supplies users with an interactive experience for nuclear visualization via a computer-graphical interface, similar in principle to the molecular visualizations already available in chemistry. Models of the Atomic Nucleus, a largely non-technical introduction to nuclear theory, explains the nucleus in a way that makes nuclear physics as comprehensible as chemistry or cell biology. The book/software supplements virtually any of the current textbooks in nuclear physics by providing a means for 3D visual display of the diverse models of nuclear structure. For the first time, an easy-to-master software for scientific visualization of the nucleus makes this notoriously "non-visual" field become immediately visible.' After a review of the basics, the book explores and compares the competing models, and addresses how the lattice model best resolves remaining controversies. The appendix explains how to obtain the most from the software provided on the accompanying CD.

Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

Models of the Atomic Nucleus is a largely non-technical introduction to nuclear theory – an attempt to explain the nucleus in a way that makes nuclear physics as comprehensible as chemistry or cell biology. Unlike many other scientific fields, the "popularization" of nuclear physics has not previously been successful because many fundamental issues remain controversial and a unified theory of nuclear structure has not yet been established. The theme developed in this book is that the many models of nuclear theory each provide a partial perspective on the nucleus and that the many models can in fact be integrated into a coherent whole and expressed in terms of a lattice of nucleons.
