Chiral Perturbation Theory for Nuclear Physicists

Chiral perturbation theory is the low energy effective theory of the strong interactions for the light pseudoscalar degrees of freedom. This program is based on effective Lagrangian techniques and is an expansion in the powers of the momenta and the powers of the quark masses, which correct the soft-pion theorems. After briefly reviewing these features and some results, we address the implicati...

Statistics for Nuclear and Particle Physicists: an Update

Over the years since this book was published in 1986, I have discovered that various statements are incorrect, could have been emphasised differently, or should have been included but were not. This attempts to remedy some of these.

INTRODGTION TO INTENSITY INTERFEROMETRY FOR NUCLEAR - PARTICLE PHYSICISTS ' Alan Katz

The Hanbury-Brown and Twiss method for measuring the radii of stars also has interesting applications in other realms of physics. Intensity interferometry, the technique used by Hanbury-Brown and Twiss for their star measurements, should yield analogous information about the angular .-sizes of excited particles and nuclei, which emit secondary particles. In this report, we interpret such emissi...

Radiological physicists

JUAN A. DEL REGATO, Radiologicalphysicists, New York, American Institute ofPhysics for the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, 1985, 4to, pp. v, 188, illus., $25.00. Radiology provided perhaps the main route by which physicists entered medicine in the period leading up the Second World War. Among other things, they were needed to develop and service X-ray and radium equipment; to de...
