Title: NUCLEAR PHYSICS

Journal Article · · Nucleonics (U.S.) Ceased publication
OSTI ID:4353967

Recent developments in the field of nuclear physics are reviewed. It is predicted that the experimental determination of nuclear properties will increase in sccuracy and scope as equipment and methods grow in diversity and in genuity. Quantum mechanics may need to be modified, as by the introduction of the concept of a fundamertal length, before nuclear phenomena can be explained. Definite progress may be expected in understanding the phenomena observed in fission, and relatively long-lived isotopes may be found among the far-transuranic nuclides because of magic-number stability.
