Al-Khalili J.S., Roeckl E. (Eds.) The Euroschool Lectures on Physics with Exotic Beams, Vol. I

Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2004. — 491 p. — (Lecture Notes in Physics 651). — ISBN: 978-3-540-44490-9 (eBook), 978-3-642-06120-2 (Softcover), 978-3-540-22399-3 (Hardcover).Research with radioactive ion beams has entered a new era with the advent of energetic beams of radioactive nuclei that are capable of inducing nuclear reactions. The present book is the first volume of edited lectures based on material presented at the Euroschool on Exotic Beams over the past years.It introducesthe graduate student and nonspecialist scientist from related areas into various topics encompassing theoretical, experimental as well as application-related aspects of this growing field of research.The Why and Howof Radioactive-Beam Research.
