The interacting boson-fermion model has become in recent years the
standard model for the description of atomic nuclei with an odd
number of protons and/or neutrons. This book describes the
mathematical framework on which the interacting boson-fermion model
is built and presents applications to a variety of situations
encountered in nuclei. The book addresses both the analytical and
the numerical aspects of the problem. The analytical aspect
requires the introduction of rather complex group theoretic
methods, including the use of graded (or super) Lie algebras. The
first (and so far only) example of supersymmetry occurring in
nature is also discussed. The book is the first comprehensive
treatment of the subject and will appeal to both theoretical and
experimental physicists. The large number of explicit formulas for
level energies, electromagnetic transition rates and intensities of
transfer reactions presented in the book provide a simple but
detailed way to analyse experimental data. This book can also be
used as a textbook for advanced graduate students.
