Full Description
This text describes our present theoretical knowledge of the nuclear many-body problem. It also covers more standard topics such as the liquid drop model, shell model, rotations and pairing theory. Emphasis is put on the methodology and technical aspects of modern theories and concepts such as small and large amplitude collective motion, boson expansions, generator coordinates, time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory, broken symmetries and semiclassical approximations, which have, up to now, received limited detailed treatment in book form. "The Nuclear Many-Body" Problem is written for students with a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics and some understanding of nuclear phenomena. The book has become a classic for teaching the most fundamental methods in nuclear physics.
Contents
The liquid drop model; the shell model; rotation and single-particle motion; nuclear forces; the Hartree-Fock method; pairing correlations and superfluid nuclei; the generalized single-particle model (HFB theory); harmonic vibrations; boson expansion methods; the generator coordinate method; restoration of broken symmetries; the time dependent Hartree-Fock method (TDHF); semiclassical methods in nuclear physics. Appendices: angular momentum algebra in the laboratory and the body-fixed system; electromagnetic moments and transitions; second quantization; density matrices; theorems concerning product wave functions; many-body green's functions.
