Nuclear Physics in the Universe, Proceedings of the First Symposium on Nuclear Physics in the Universe Held in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, Usa, 24-26 Septem (Hardcover)

The emergence of new experimental facilities producing radioactive heavy-ion beams means we can study nuclei far from stability, i.e. under conditions similar to those only previously found in astrophysical objects (stars, supernovae, etc.) Also the development of supercomputers means we can study nuclei under extreme conditions by computer simulation. Authors are mostly USA based. This volume contains 32 invited papers. This is a relatively new field,...
