Publisher's Synopsis
Twenty years have passed since work began on this three-volume series in nuclear theory. During that time span the subject matter has changed enormously. Where volume two is concerned this period has seen the unification of its two main topics - electromagnetic interactions and weak interactions - and a consolidation of the theoretical treatment of strongly-interacting nuclear probes. Thus this third edition incorporates a new chapter on electroweak interactions in their unified form, and a new chapter on nuclear reaction theory, as well as numerous smaller changes to update the material. The subject matter is presented in detail and is closely reasoned so that the book is particularly suitable for use in graduate-level nuclear physics courses, as well as being of value to research workers in this field.
