Nuclear Electrodynamics

"Nuclear Electrodynamics" quantitatively describes bothnuclear electromagnetic properties and processes of theelectromagnetic interaction.The main emphasis is on thederivation of basic equations. The book is intended for boththeorists and experimentalists specializing in this field.Contents:- Introduction- Electromagnetic Multipole Moments- Interaction Between Nuclei and Electromagnetic Radiation- Electron-Nucleus Interaction (Elastic and Inelastic Scattering)- Electron-Nucleus Interaction (Nuclear Electrodisintegration and Inclusive Processes)- Electromagnetic Interaction between Heavy Charged Particles and Nuclei- References- Subject Index

This new volume of the Springer Series in Nuclear and Particle Physics discusses phenomenological electrodynamics of atomic nuclei and reviews the state of the art of the past decade. Special attention is paid to the derivation of basic relations, making the book useful for both theorists and experimentalists specializing in this field. The present volume should be available in every nuclear physics library. ***FACHGEBIET*** Nuclei, Nuclear Physics, Nuclear Electrodynamics, Nuclear Structure, Nuclear Deformation, Nuclear Polarization
