About
This second volume of Computational Nuclear Physics deals primarily with nuclear reactions; it thus complements the first volume, which concentrates on nuclear structure. Providing discussions of both of the relevant physics as well as the numerical methods, the chapters codify the expertise of many of the leading researchers in computation nuclear physics. The numerical methods discussed are embodied in a fortran code; sample input and test runs are also provided. All codes discussed in the book are included on a diskette; they conform to the fortran 77 standard. The subjects covered include: one-boson exchange scattering; the G-matrix in finite nuclei; the nuclear-matter effective interaction; nuclear collisions; the distorted-wave Born approximation; statistical models with angular-momentum coupling, time-dependent Hartee-Fock approximation for nuclear slabs; the Vlasov-Uehling- Uhlenbeck model; the friction model for deep-inelastic and fusion reactions; the quark model and nucleon-nucleon interactions; hadron-hadron and hadron-nucleus scattering.

Discussion questions for Computational Nuclear Physics 2

Bring these to your book club — or discuss them with readers on Readfeed.

  1. 1

    How do the numerical methods and Fortran-based implementations discussed in this volume bridge the gap between abstract quantum mechanics and tangible computational results?

  2. 2

    In what ways does shifting the focus from nuclear structure (Volume 1) to nuclear reactions (Volume 2) alter our understanding of the dynamic behavior of atomic nuclei?

  3. 3

    Considering the reliance on Fortran 77 standards and included diskettes, how has the evolution of programming languages and hardware changed the way we approach computational physics today compared to when this book was written?
