High Energy Nuclear Reactions"An account of interactions of nucleons, with energies of 100 MeV and greater, with nuclei. In particular a detailed account is given of certain reactions, elastic and inelastic scattering and knockout reactions, whose mechanisms can be understood relatively simply. The reasons for this simplicity are described, together with the resulting features seen in experimental measurements. Because of their simple features these reactions are useful tools for the study of nuclear structure: it is shown how they have demonstrated important systematic features of the structures of light nuclei"--Front jacket flap. |
