Describing the processes in stars which produce the chemical
elements for planets and life, this book shows how similar
processes may be reproduced in laboratories using exotic beams, and
how these results can be analyzed. Beginning with one-channel
scattering theory, the book builds up to multi-channel reactions.
Emphasis is placed on using transfer and breakup reactions to probe
structure and predict capture processes, as well as R-matrix
methods for modeling compound nucleus dynamics described by
Hauser-Feshbach methods. Practical applications are prominent in
this book, confronting theory predictions with data throughout. The
associated reaction program Fresco is described, allowing readers
to apply the methods to practical cases. Each chapter ends with
exercises so readers can test their understanding of the materials
covered. Supplementary materials at www.cambridge.org/9780521856355
include the Fresco program, input and output files for the examples
given in the book, and hints and graphs related to the exercises.
