Item description from seller

Includes: illustrations, diagrams, index. xix, 543, corrigendum, Fold-outs. Occasional footnotes. References. Tables. Author Index. Subject Index. Prof. Rosenfeld is one of the leading theoretical physicists of to-day and is distinguished not only for his great original contributions to the most difficult and deep parts of modern quantum mechanics and nuclear structure, but also for his wide knowledge and scholarship. He is now completing a book on the quantum theory of nuclear forces which should prove valuable to all theoretical workers on nuclear structure. In his new position in Manchester he will add greatly to the strength of theoretical physics in England. He will be in very close touch with the experimental researches being carried out in the laboratory of Prof. P. M. S. Blackett. The nuclear force (or nucleon nucleon interaction or residual strong force) is the force between protons and neutrons, subatomic particles that are collectively called nucleons. The nuclear force is responsible for binding protons and neutrons into atomic nuclei. Neutrons and protons are affected by the nuclear force almost identically. Since protons have charge +1 e, they experience a strong electric field repulsion (following Coulomb's law) that tends to push them apart, but at short range the attractive nuclear force overcomes the repulsive electromagnetic force. The mass of a nucleus is less than the sum total of the individual masses of the protons and neutrons which form it. The difference in mass between bound and unbound nucleons is known as the mass defect. Energy is released when some large nuclei break apart, and it is this energy that is used in nuclear power and nuclear weapons. Good in poor dust jacket. Signed by previous owner. Some page discoloration. DJ worn, torn, soiled with tears and chips. Presumed first U. S. edition/first printing. Part II pub. 1949.…
