Because neutron physics is the essential part of reactor physics, it is the main subject taught to students of Nuclear Engineering. This book takes an instructional approach for that purpose. Neutron Physics is also intended for all physicists and engineers involved in development or operational aspects of nuclear power.

c Societa a Italiana di Fisica / Springer-Verlag 2008 The 11th Workshop on The Physics of Excited Nucleons, NSTAR 2007, was held at the University of Bonn, Germany,fromSeptember5–8,2007.ItwasthelatestofaseriesofsuccessfulconferencesattheRensselaerPolytechnic Institute (1988), Florida State University (1994 and 2005), Je?erson Lab (1995 and 2000), INT Seattle (1996), GWU ? Washington (1997), ECT Trento (1998), Mainz (2001), Pittsburgh (2002) and the LPSC Grenoble (2004). A Baryon Resonance Analysis Group (BRAG) meeting immediately before the workshop focused especially on the physical meaning of bare and dressed scattering matrix singularities. A focus workshop on? photoproduction rounded o? the NSTAR 2007. The goal of NSTAR 2007 was to bring together experts on all areas of physics relevant to baryon spectroscopy, both in experiment and theory. Latest results were presented in 30 plenary talks and 34 parallel contributions, the proceedings of which are collected in this volume. The workshop was attended by 123 scientists of 41 universities and laboratories from 16 countries. Exciting new high-precision data were shown from facilities in Asia, the US and Europe, e.g. BES, BNL, COSY, ELSA, GRAAL, JLab, MAMI and LEPS. Large-acceptance detectors provide complete angular distributions in many reaction channels. Particular emphasis is put on the measurement of single and double polarisation observables such that many new polarization measurements can be expected in forthcoming meetings.

Originally conceived for engineering students in their second year at the French institute IGA, this workbook is an indispensable complement to the title Précis de neutronique, which focuses on the most recent discoveries in neutronics. Eighteen chapters correspond to those of Précis de neutronique and thirteen annexes have been added, which contain the exam topics of the past years.

La neutronique – néologisme bâti sur le modèle d’électronique – est née en 1932 avec la mise en évidence expérimentale du neutron par le physicien britannique James Chadwick. La neutronique est l’étude du cheminement des neutrons dans la matière et, plus spécifiquement, des conditions d’une réaction en chaîne libérant de l’énergie grâce aux fissions de noyaux d’uranium ou de plutonium. À la suite de talentueux pionniers de la physique nucléaire – Becquerel, les Curie, les Joliot-Curie et bien d’autres – et encouragés par une politique volontariste de développement de cette nouvelle source d’énergie, les physiciens français ont apporté une contribution essentielle aux progrès de la neutronique. Basée à l’origine sur des modèles extrêmement habiles, la neutronique a fait de plus en plus appel à l’informatique. Aujourd’hui, les concepteurs des réacteurs font partie des gros utilisateurs du calcul scientifique. Cette saga est contée ici par un ingénieur qui a contribué à ces développements et un enseignant qui a transmis sa passion à de nombreux jeunes. L’auteur a choisi de la présenter avec deux niveaux de difficulté : le lecteur rebuté par les équations ou ne recherchant qu’un aperçu pourra se limiter au texte principal ; celui qui souhaite plus de détails pourra aussi se plonger dans les encadrés.

Synthesizing the theoretical and experimental advances in pion-nucleon interactions over approximately the last twelve years, the authors offer here a timely account of the hadronic interactions of pions and nucleons and of the structure of nucleons. Because of the hadronic SU3 symmetry, the book also treats the structure of baryons in general, and so contains much material external to the specific field of pion-nucleon interactions. Thus the book's subject can be stated as the hadronic structure of baryons as illustrated particularly by pion-nucleon interaction.Following an introductory discussion of isotopic spin, the authors proceed to chapters that treat low energy pion scattering by nucleons and the photoproduction of pions; forward and fixed momentum transfer dispersion relations; analytic properties of scattering amplitudes; formation of nucleon resonances; symmetries and classification of particles and resonances; current algebra, sum rules, and superconvergence relations; scattering at higher energies; pion-nucleon dynamics; pion-nucleon inelastic scattering; and the form factors of the nucleon and the pion.Each chapter is followed by abundant references to the original literature. The level of the writing is suitable for students at the graduate level, and the presentation is even and self-contained. On balance, the authors have prepared a useful consolidation and review of this difficult and changing area of investigation.Originally published in 1973.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
