Description
concise and up-to-date overview of foundations and theories of the models describing the nuclei of atoms. Based on crucial experiments, the author presents the basic models and theories of nuclear structure and gives an in-depth analysis of their experimental and mathematical foundations. By following the strategy first to look for a pattern in the available data, then to develop phenomenological models to explain them, and finally to give a theoretical foundation to these theories, the author presents the relationship between the different models and exhibits their respective value.
