Nuclear Statistical Spectroscopy

This informative monograph provides a detailed introduction to statistical spectroscopy, a technique that combines the best aspects of the shell-model microscopic approach with the purely statistical approaches used in certain nuclear reaction theories and random matrix studies. This handbook describes statistical spectroscopy in language that enables the nonspecialist to grasp the matter easily, and at the same time gathers the most important techniques in one place, making this book a valuable reference for nuclear physicists interested in applying this method to their research.
