Algebraic Approaches to Nuclear Structure - Interacting Boson and Fermion Models (Paperback)

This important book presents on approach to understanding the atomic nucleus that exploits simple algebraic techniques. The book focuses primarily on a panicular algebraic model, the Interacting Boson Model (IBM); ft outlines the algebraic structure, or group theoretical basis, of the IBM and other algebraic models using simple examples. Both the compa6son of the IBM with empirical data and its microscopic basis are explored, as are extensions to odd mass nuclei and to phenomena not originally encompassed within its purview. An important final chapter treats fermion algebraic approaches to nuclear structure which can be both more microscopic and more general, and which represent Promising avenues for future research. Each of the contributors to this work is a leading expert in the field of algebraic models; together they have formulated an introduction to the subject which will be an important resource for the series graduate student and the professional physicist alike.
