Bydzovsky P., Marec J., Gal A. (Eds.) Topics in Strangeness Nuclear Physics

Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2007. — 193 p. — (Lecture Notes in Physics 724). — ISBN: 978-3-540-72039-3 (eBook), 978-3-642-09122-3 (Softcover), 978-3-540-72038-6 (Hardcover).Strangeness nuclear physics bears a broad impact on contemporary physics since it lies at the intersection of nuclear and elementary particle physics, having, moreover, significant implicationsto the astrophysics of compact objects.
This set of extensive lectures presents a balanced theoretical and experimental introduction to, and survey of, the field, addressing topics such as the production and spectroscopy of strange nuclear systems, modern approaches to the hyperon-nucleon interaction, and weak decays of hypernuclei.
With new experiments underway, this burgeoningresearch field is well served by this tutorial primer and review for both newcomers and seasoned researchers alikeThe Production of Strange Nuclear Systems
Hypernuclear Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy and the Structure of p-shell Nuclei and Hypernuclei
Spectroscopy of Hypernuclei with Meson Beams
The Hyperon-Nucleon Interaction: Conventional Versus Effective Field Theory Approach
Weak Decays of Hypernuclei
