Title: Geometrical Relationships of Macroscopic Nuclear Physics
Description: This book brings together in one place all the formulae and relationships of macroscopic (liquid drop model) nuclear physics. The various parameterizations for nuclear shapes and density distributions that have been developed for discussing nuclear ground state properties and fission and heavy-ion reactions are presented and, when possible, relations between them are given. Expressions are given for such frequently used quantities as surface and Coulomb energies, moments of inertia, etc. The collection is meant to be complete, and extensive cross referencing guarantees that formulae of interest are easily found and related material is presented. This is the first time that the geometrical relationships so frequently employed in fission, heavy-ion, intermediate and high-energy nuclear physics have been brought together in one place and with such thoroughness. Students and instructors as well as experienced research workers in these and related fields will find it to be a frequently consulted reference.
