Book Description
This volume documents an important event in the World Year of Physics 2005 and a continuation of the traditional international summer schools that have taken place in Romania regularly since 1964. On one hand, the study of exotic nuclei seeks answers about the structure and interaction of unique finite quantum mechanical many-body systems. On the other, it provides data that have an impact on the understanding of the origin of the elements in the Universe.The contributions, written by outstanding professors from prestigious research centers over the world, provide the reader with both comprehensive reviews and the most recent results in the field. Large experimental facilities are discussed together with future research projects. The book offers insights into how experiments in terrestrial nuclear physics laboratories may be combined with observations in outer space to enlarge our basic knowledge.

Exotic Nuclei and Nuclear/Particle Astrophysics (II)
Author: Livius Trache
Publisher: American Institute of Physics
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 650
Book Description
The book represents the proceedings of the conference with the same name, held for two weeks in the Carpathian mountains resort of Sinaia, Romania. It aims to provide the reader with comprehensive reviews on topics in exotic nuclei, nuclear and particle astrophysics, including the most recent results in the field. The articles are written by outstanding professors from prestigious research centers over the world. It treats phenomena from the smallest to largest scales in the Universe, from nuclei to galaxies. On one hand, the study of exotic nuclei is seeking answers about the structure and interaction of unique finite quantum mechanical many-body systems. On another hand, it provides data that have impact on the understanding of the origin of the elements in the Universe. The abundance of the elements are indelible fingerprints of the evolution of the Universe, of the large array of processes and places where nucleosynthesis took place. The High Energy cosmic rays give access to phenomena we cannot reproduce on Earth and places we will never want to visit, but seek to understand. The book collects articles that offer insights on how experiments in the terrestrial nuclear physics laboratories can be combined with observations of the outer space to enlarge our basic knowledge. The volume is dedicated to the 60th anniversary of Professor Robert E. Tribble (Texas A&M University).

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The conferences in the Carpathians are called by tradition ‘schools’, but are a combination of a school and a conference with invited talks and communications. This was the 24th Carpathian summer school in physics, a tradition since 1964, and the 4th with the current title. Its main objectives are:To educate new generations of specialists in the field of nuclear structure and reactions, of nuclear astrophysics and astroparticles. -To help disseminate and discuss the latest developments in the fields of interest among the participants, to facilitate interactions across field boundaries. -The mixed character school-conference is meant to facilitate the contacts between generations of scientists. -To create conditions of direct contacts between best specialists in the above fields and the local researchers, in particular from Romania.

Book Description
The Carpathian Summer School of Physics 2016 was organized in Sinaia, Romania, as the 27th edition of a tradition that began in 1964. For this two-week, mixed format school-conference, more than 100 students and lecturers gathered to discuss topics pertaining to nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics, and astroparticle physics, as well as applications of small accelerators. The subject matter ranged from the minute energies of individual nuclear reactions in stars to the gigantic energy releases in supernovae; from sub-nucleonic sizes to the size of the whole universe; from small electrostatic accelerators to new radioactive ion beam facilities; and to the most powerful lasers to be used for nuclear physics.

Neutron Stars 1
Author: P. Haensel
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387473017
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 633
Book Description
The book gives an extended review of theoretical and observational aspects of neutron star physics. With masses comparable to that of the Sun and radii of about ten kilometres, neutron stars are the densest stars in the Universe. This book describes all layers of neutron stars, from the surface to the core, with the emphasis on their structure and equation of state. Theories of dense matter are reviewed, and used to construct neutron star models. Hypothetical strange quark stars and possible exotic phases in neutron star cores are also discussed. Also covered are the effects of strong magnetic fields in neutron star envelopes.

Astronomy with Radioactivities
Author: Roland Diehl
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642126979
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 577
Book Description
This book introduces the reader to the field of nuclear astrophysics, i.e. the acquisition and reading of measurements on unstable isotopes in different parts of the universe. The authors explain the role of radioactivities in astrophysics, discuss specific sources of cosmic isotopes and in which special regions they can be observed. More specifically, the authors address stars of different types, stellar explosions which terminate stellar evolutions, and other explosions triggered by mass transfers and instabilities in binary stars. They also address nuclear reactions and transport processes in interstellar space, in the contexts of cosmic rays and of chemical evolution. A special chapter is dedicated to the solar system which even provides material samples. The book also contains a description of key tools which astrophysicists employ in those particular studies and a glossary of key terms in astronomy with radioactivities.

Giant Resonances
Author: M. N. Harakeh
Publisher: Oxford Studies in Nuclear Phys
ISBN: 9780198517337
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 658
Book Description
Giant resonances are collective excitations of the atomic nucleus, a typical quantum many-body system. The study of these fundamental modes has in many respects contributed to our understanding of the bulk behavior of the nucleus and of the dynamics of non-equilibrium excitations. Although the phenomenon of giant resonances has been known for more than 50 years, a large amount of information has been obtained in the last 10 years. This book gives an up-to-date, comprehensive account of our present knowledge of giant resonances. It presents the experimental facts and the techniques used to obtain that information, describes how these facts fit into theoretical concepts and how this allows to determine various nuclear properties which are otherwise difficult to obtain. Included as an introduction is an overview of the main facts, a short history of how the field has developed in the course of time, and a discussion of future perspectives.

Astronomy and Civilization in the New Enlightenment
Author: Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9048197481
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
This volume represents the first which interfaces with astronomy as the fulcrum of the sciences. It gives full expression to the human passion for the skies. Advancing human civilization has unfolded and matured this passion into the comprehensive science of astronomy. Advancing science’s quest for the first principles of existence meets the ontopoietic generative logos of life, the focal point of the New Enlightenment. It presents numerous perspectives illustrating how the interplay between human beings and the celestial realm has informed civilizational trends. Scholars and philosophers debate in physics and biology, the findings of which are opening a more inclusive, wider picture of the universe. The different models of the universal order and of life here presented, all aiming at the first principles of existence—accord with the phenomenology/ontopoiesis of life within the logos-prompted primogenital stream of becoming and action, which points to a future of progressing culture.
