  • Discoveries at the Frontiers of Science

    From Nuclear Astrophysics to Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions

    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    With contributions by leading theoreticians, this book presents the discoveries of hitherto hidden connections between seemingly unrelated fields of fundamental physics. The topics range from cosmology and astrophysics to nuclear-, particle- and heavy-ion science. A current example concerns the sensitivity of gravitational wave spectra to the phase structure of dense nuclear and quark matter in ... Read more

  • Special Relativity in General Frames

    From Particles to Astrophysics

    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Special relativity is the basis of many fields in modern physics: particle physics, quantum field theory, high-energy astrophysics, etc. This theory is presented here by adopting a four-dimensional point of view from the start. An outstanding feature of the book is that it doesn’t restrict itself to inertial frames but considers accelerated and rotating observers. It is thus possible to treat ... Read more

  • A Study of the Isoscalar Giant Monopole Resonance

    The Role of Symmetry Energy in Nuclear Incompressibility in the Open-Shell Nuclei

    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis reports on investigations of a specific collective mode of nuclear vibration, the isoscalar giant monopole resonance (ISGMR), the nuclear "breathing mode", the energy of which is directly related to a fundamental property of nuclei—the nuclear incompressibility. The alpha inelastic scattering experiments reported in this thesis have been critical to answering some fundamental questions ... Read more

  • Hyperspherical Harmonics Expansion Techniques

    Application to Problems in Physics

    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The book provides a generalized theoretical technique for solving the fewbody Schrödinger equation. Straight forward approaches to solve it in terms of position vectors of constituent particles and using standard mathematical techniques become too cumbersome and inconvenient when the system contains more than two particles. The introduction of Jacobi vectors, hyperspherical variables and ... Read more
