Helmut Hofmann

The Physics of Warm Nuclei: With Analogies to Mesoscopic Systems

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The book describes in detail modern developments in theories of small many body systems, like of nuclear complexes reached in accelerator experiments or of metal clusters. To make the book self-contained, topics of very general nature are included such as Equilibrium- and non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics, Linear Response Theory, Functional Integrals and Transport Theory.
