This book ushers in a new era of experimental and theoretical
investigations into collective processes, structure formation, and
self-organization of nuclear matter. It reports the results of
experiments wherein for the first time the nuclei constituting our
world (those displayed in Mendeleev's table as well as the
super-heavy ones) have been artificially created. Pioneering
breakthroughs are described, achieved at the Proton-21 Laboratory,
Kiev, Ukraine, in a variety of new physical and technological
directions.
A detailed description of the main experiments, their analyses, and
the interpretation of copious experimental data are given, along
with the methodology governing key measurements and the processing
algorithms of the data that empirically confirm the occurrence of
macroscopic self-organizing processes leading to the nuclear
transformations of various materials. The basic concepts underlying
the initiation of self-sustaining collective processes that result
in the formation of nuclear structures are also examined.
How to realize nucleosynthesis of stable nuclei in the
laboratory? Why are metallic meteorites of iron or nickel-iron?
Could the iron be nuclear fuel and could an iron star blow up as a
supernova? And what could be the energy source of such an
explosion? Is it possible to obtain nuclear energy from any
terrestrial substance without producing radioactivity? Do
super-heavy (Migdal's) nuclei exist, and is it possible to
synthesize them in the laboratory? What physical mechanisms could
one use to control nuclear transformations and particularly the
sign of the overall energy balance involved?
Answers to these and other intriguing questions are to be found in
this book."
