Structure and dynamics of few-nucleon systems
Few-nucleon physics is a field rich with high-quality experimental data and possibilities for accurate calculations of strongly-correlated quantum systems. In this article the authors discuss the traditional model of the nucleus as a system of interacting nucleons and outline many recent experimental results and theoretical developments in the field of few-nucleon physics. They present discussions of nuclear structure and spectra, clustering and correlations, elastic and inelastic electromagnetic form factors, low energy electroweak reactions, and nuclear scattering and response in the quasi-elastic regime. Through a review of the rich experimental data and a variety of theoretical developments, a coherent description of the nuclear strong and electroweak interaction properties emerges. In this article, they attempt to provide some insight into the practice and possibilities of in few-nucleon physics today.
