Fission, Fusion And Cluster Radioactivity

Much progress has been made recently in the identification and study of new processes in nuclear fission and fusion. Fission, Fusion and Cluster Radioactivity provides an up-to-date account of theory and experimental results on nuclear fission, fusion, and cluster radioactivity. It discusses collective coordinates and the Hamiltonian, quantum mechanical fragmentation theory, the fragmentation dynamics of fission, cold reaction valleys, fissio-like phenomena in heavy-ion reactions, nuclear structure and the stability of super-heavy elements, clustering phenomena in heavy-ion reactions, and cold fission versus cluster radioactivity. This book will replace previous classic texts on the subject. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
