Pre-equilibrium Nuclear Reactions


Book Description

While we have attempted to mention at least the most important developments in the theory of pre-equilibrium reactions, the volume of work in this area over the last few years has been so immense that it is not possible to give a comprehensive account of all that has been done. Our aim is to describe as clearly as we can the main physical ideas and to sketch the mathematical formulations that have been developed to enable practical calculations to be made. We attach particular importance to the detailed comparisons between theory and experiment because only in this way is it possible to assess the usefulness and validity of the theories that have been proposed.




Pre-Equilibrium Emission Nuclear Reacthb


Book Description

This book discusses in detail the phenomena of Pre-equilibrium emission in statistical nuclear reactions. It serves as an experimental manual for beginners in the field of accelerator-based research, and as a source of complete information on the topic. Pre-equilibrium emission is found to occur even at low and moderate energies in both light and heavy ion induced reactions, indicating that it is an essential component of reaction dynamics. This book compiles most of the experimental data on pre-equilibrium emission available at low and moderate energies, putting it into an accessible format for the first time. It is intended to help early-career nuclear physicists and doctoral students to understand the phenomenon of pre-equilibrium emission in nuclear reactions. It is ideal for postgraduate students studying accelerator-based experimental physics and dedicated researchers working in the field of nuclear reaction studies. Key Features: Designed to serve as an experimental manual for beginners in the field of accelerator based research Provides comprehensive coverage of the topic of pre-equilibrium emission in statistical nuclear reactions Covers both experimental, theoretical and computational aspects of pre-equilibrium processes Fills a gap in the literature in nuclear reactions




Compound-Nuclear Reactions


Book Description

The Compound-Nuclear Reaction and Related Topics (CNR*) international workshop series was initiated in 2007 with a meeting near Yosemite National Park. It has since been held in Bordeaux (2009), Prague (2011), Sao Paulo (2013), Tokyo (2015), and Berkeley, California (2018). The workshop series brings together experts in nuclear theory, experiment, data evaluations, and applications, and fosters interactions among these groups. Topics of interest include: nuclear reaction mechanisms, optical model, direct reactions and the compound nucleus, pre-equilibrium reactions, fusion and fission, cross section measurements (direct and indirect methods), Hauser-Feshbach theory (limits and extensions), compound-nuclear decays, particle and gamma emission, level densities, strength functions, nuclear structure for compound-nuclear reactions, nuclear energy, nuclear astrophysics, and other topics. This peer-reviewed proceedings volume presents papers and poster summaries from the 6th International Workshop on Compound-Nuclear Reactions and Related Topics CNR*18, held on September 24-28, 2018, at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, Berkeley, CA.
