Interaction of Particles and Radiation with Matter

Download or read book Interaction of Particles and Radiation with Matter written by Vsevolod V. Balashov and published by Springer. This book was released on 1997-03-20 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is organized into fourteen lectures on modern atomic and nuclear physics. It begins with a concise introduction on the constituents of matter (elementary particles, atomic nuclei, atoms and molecules) and then focuses on the interaction of particles and radiation with matter. The lectures each range from physical fundamentals to current topics in subatomic and atomic research, thus making links to modern applications. Currently important topics such as channeling, the interaction between molecular ions and matter, and muon-catalyzed fusion are also discussed. The text is suitable as an introduction for graduate students and as a reference for scientists.
