Calculation Methods in Nuclear Physics: Nuclear and Thermonuclear Processes

Calculation Methods in Nuclear Physics: Nuclear and Thermonuclear Processes addresses the critical need for advanced computational tools and mathematical models in nuclear physics research. The book focuses on solving Schr dinger equations for various nuclear systems, including scattering states and bound states using numerical and variational techniques. It covers both real and complex potentials, with detailed algorithms and source code examples primarily in Fortran 90 and Turbo Basic, thus enabling researchers and students to implement these methods in their own work. Chapters are organized systematically, covering topics such as scattering phase shifts, bound state characteristics, and cross-section analyses for nuclear scattering and photonuclear processes.

The structure emphasizes practical, step-by-step procedures and computational algorithms, making it suitable for both theoretical development and implementation. The content systematically explores the Schr dinger equation, tensor potentials, phase shift analysis, and reaction cross sections, providing a comprehensive toolkit for nuclear reaction modeling. By offering detailed algorithms and models, the book enhances researchers' ability to perform precise nuclear data analysis and modeling, supporting ongoing advancements in nuclear science.
