This book provides advanced students and postdocs, as well as
current practitioners of any field of nuclear physics involving
fission an understanding of the nuclear fission process. Key topics
covered are: fission cross sections, fission fragment yields,
neutron and gamma emission from fission and key nuclear
technologies and applications where fission plays an important
role. It addresses both fundamental aspects of the fission process
and fission-based technologies including combining quantitative and
microscopic modeling.
This book is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate
students in high energy heavy-ion physics. It is relevant for
students who will work on topics being explored at RHIC and the
LHC.
In the first part, the basic principles of these studies are
covered including kinematics, cross sections (including the quark
model and parton distribution functions), the geometry of nuclear
collisions, thermodynamics, hydrodynamics and relevant aspects of
lattice gauge theory at finite temperature.
The second part covers some more specific probes of heavy-ion
collisions at these energies: high mass thermal dileptons,
quarkonium and hadronization. The second part also serves as
extended examples of concepts learned in the previous part. Both
parts contain examples in the text as well as exercises at the end
of each chapter.
- Designed for students and newcomers to the field
- Focuses on hard probes and QCD
- Covers all aspects of high energy heavy-ion physics
- Includes worked example problems and exercises
