Nuclear Electrodynamics
by Alexander Akhiezer, Aleksei G. Sitenko, and Viktor K. Tartakovskii
Published 28 April 1994
"Nuclear Electrodynamics" quantitatively describes both
nuclear electromagnetic properties and processes of the
electromagnetic interaction.The main emphasis is on the
derivation of basic equations. The book is intended for both
theorists and experimentalists specializing in this field.
Contents:
- Introduction
- Electromagnetic Multipole Moments
- Interaction Between Nuclei and Electromagnetic Radiation
- Electron-Nucleus Interaction (Elastic and Inelastic
Scattering)
- Electron-Nucleus Interaction (Nuclear
Electrodisintegration and Inclusive Processes)
- Electromagnetic Interaction between Heavy Charged
Particles and Nuclei
- References

This book is based on the course in theoretical nuclear physics that has been given by the author for some years at the T. G. Shevchenko Kiev State University. This version is supplemented and revised to include new results obtained after 1971 and 1975 when the first and second editions were published. This text is intended as an introduction to the nonrelativistic theory of po- tential scattering. The analysis is based on the scattering matrix concept where the relationship between the scattering matrix and observable physical quantities is considered. The stationary formulation of the scattering problem is presented; particle wave functions in the external field are obtained. A formulation of the optical theorem is given as well as a discussion on time inversion and the reci- procity theorem. Analytic properties of the scattering matrix, dispersion relations, and complex moments are analyzed. The dispersion relations for an arbitrary di- rection scattering amplitude are proven, and analytic properties of the amplitude in the plane of the complex cosine of the scattering angle are studied in detail.
