Nuclear Data An independent–particle motion view

Nuclear data represents measured (or evaluated) probabilities of various physical interactions involving the nuclei of atoms. It is used to understand the nature of such interactions by providing the fundamental input to many models and simulations in nuclear physics and related subjects. This book provides an intermediate treatment on the topic of nuclear structure focussing on an independent-particle motion view. It follows Nuclear dаta: A Primer, which provided an introduction to nuclear structure. It is divided into four main chapters which outline the necessary theory and critically review it in the light of available data. Structured exercises promote student learning and understanding. This book follows a pathway that is useful to potential readers, particularly PhD students and advanced undergraduate students. Part of IOP Series in Nuclear Spectroscopy and Nuclear Structure.
