Jackson, J D

This book reviews various subjects in the field of nuclear physics. Topics considered include classical solutions in field theory; heavy-ion coulomb excitation and nuclear structure; plutonium and weapons proliferation; nuclear reactions in stars; electron scattering on nuclei below 1 GeV; supersymmetry and supergravity; origins and acceleration mechanisms of cosmic rays; the standard electroweak model; pion absorption in the nucleus; physics with segmented 4..pi.. Nal detectors; subbarrier fusion; meson-exchange currents in axial vector transitions; status of CP violation; the Dirac equation for nucleons; muon decay experiments; positrons from heavy ion collisions; superconducting linear accelerators; Monte Carlo simulations of hadronic processes; single-particle motion in rotating nuclei; nonlinear accelerator physics problems; inclusive properties of hadrons from high energy interactions; phase transitions and inflation in the early universe; basic principles of collider detector design; inelastic scattering of electrons, nucleons, and pions as probes of nuclear structure; and the Tevatron accelerator.
