Modern Theories of Nuclear Moments

by B. Castel, I. S. Towner

The study of nuclear moments parallels the development of nuclear physics as a whole. Thus it can prove an excellent pedagogical tool toward understanding the complexities and elegance of some of the most current and powerful nuclear models. That is what the authors have attempted in this book. Instead of presenting a compilation of theoretical calculations of nuclear moments, they have endeavored to show the extent to which nuclear moments can be used as a stringent test of current nuclear models and of their predictive power.
