Title: Treatise on heavy-ion science. Vol. 4: extreme nuclear states

Book ·
OSTI ID:5922662

Volume 4 of this series contains information regarding heavy ions and low-energy nuclear fission; fission of highly excited and rotating nuclei; nuclear fission and nucleus-nucleus collisions with salient examples of large-scale collective nuclear motion; the nuclear properties of the transuranium elements (TUEs); chemical and physical properties of the TUEs; predictions for the properties of superheavy elements; and attempts to synthesize superheavy elements with heavy-ion beams. Other topics include the possibility of producing superheavy elements by nucleosynthesis; the search for superheavy elements in galactic cosmic rays; the physical and chemical aspects of the search for superheavy elements in nature; and nuclear physics in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Theoretical models are presented for relativistic heavy-ion reactions.
