The Nuclear Cooper Pair
Cambridge University Press (Verlag)
978-1-108-84354-6 (ISBN)
This monograph presents a unified theory of nuclear structure and nuclear reactions in the language of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman diagrams. It describes how two-nucleon transfer reaction processes can be used as a quantitative tool to interpret experimental findings with the help of computer codes and nuclear field theory. Making use of Cooper pair transfer processes, the theory is applied to the study of pair correlations in both stable and unstable exotic nuclei. Special attention is given to unstable, exotic halo systems, which lie at the forefront of the nuclear physics research being carried out at major laboratories around the world. This volume is distinctive in dealing in both nuclear structure and reactions and benefits from comparing the nuclear field theory with experimental observables, making it a valuable resource for incoming and experienced researchers who are working in nuclear pairing and using transfer reactions to probe them.
Gregory Potel Aguilar obtained his Ph.D. at the University of Sevilla, Spain, in 2005. His work concerning the reaction mechanism of Cooper pair transfer in the study of pairing in atomic nuclei led him to earn a FRIB Theory Fellowship at the Facility for Rare Isotopes Beams (FRIB), Michigan. He is currently a staff scientist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Ricardo A. Broglia earned his Ph.D. at the Institute J. Balseiro, University of Cuyo, Argentina, in 1965. Following positions at the University of Buenos Aires, the Niels Bohr Institute and the University of Minnesota, he joined the staff of the Niels Bohr Institute in 1970, where he is now an affiliated Professor. In 1985 he was called to occupy the Chair of Nuclear Structure at the University of Milan, a position at which he stayed until 2009. He is known for helping to develop the nuclear field theory based on Feynman's version of quantum electrodynamics and the theory of heavy ion reactions. His previous books include Oscillations in Finite Quantum Systems with George Bertsch and Nuclear Superfluidity with David Brink, which can be considered companions to the present volume.
