Pre-equilibrium Emission in Nuclear Reactions Fundamentals, measurements and analysis 1st Edition – PDF/EPUB Version Downloadable

The book is designed to serve as an experimental manual for beginners in the field of accelerator based research on one hand, and as a source of complete information on the topic of pre-equilibrium emission in statistical nuclear reactions on the other. It covers both the experimental and theoretical aspects of pre-equilibrium process. Details of several computer codes based on different theoretical formalisms are also provided. The book is divided in six chapters; Chapter-1 gives a short review of nuclear reaction studies and spell out the motivation for the work. Characteristics of binary nuclear reactions, fundamental laws obeyed by them, Q-equation etc are discussed in chapter-2. Chapter-3 provides theoretical formulations etc used in obtaining required parameters from raw experimental data. Theoretical background of the subject has been developed in Chapter-4 where different theories for compound and pre-equilibrium process are discussed. Sufficient details of several important computer codes that are frequently used to evaluate experimental data are also provided in this chapter. Details of different experimental set ups used for obtaining pre-equilibrium component, reaction wise analysis of experimental data etc are discussed in chapter-5. Analysis of experimental data on pre-equilibrium emission obtained from different types of reactions including heavy ion induced reactions and radioactive ion beam induced reactions is presented in chapter-6. Attempt has also been made to obtain systematic trends in pre-equilibrium component with different parameters of the interacting systems in chapter-6
