DESCRIPTION:
the coverage is remarkable. Interdisciplinarity is much talked about and rarely practised; this book, however, provides a nice example. pleasingly laid out and intelligently divided into independent subsections for easy reference." -- American Scientist"It will also be of value for those engaged in any facet of neutron physics research, for Neutrons, Nuclei and Matter provides a first-principles discussion of the fundamental neutron interactions. the writing is clear, and the explanations stress essential physical principles. " it is hard to imagine so much information, so many tables, facts and figures, and so many up-to-date references being gathered together in one place. The choice of material in Neutrons, Nuclei and Matter provides an excellent surv
It concludes with a description of the fundamental role of neutrons in particle physics and its potential for developing physics beyond the Standard Model. Topics are introducted at a basic level, and then developed systematically. There is an extensive list of references.. Designed in self-contained sections, this text sets out the elementary properties of the neutron and its interactions, providing a discussion of neutron scattering in materials
