Nuclear Forces

Abstract

THERE are two main reasons why those who found the first volume of Prof. Rosenfeld's “Nuelear Forces” useful will welcome the appearance of the second. The first is naturally the subject matter, which until now has been available only in the form of original papers and is here coherently collected for the first time. Secondly, the index and bibliography, referring to both volumes, and the absence of which from volume 1 robbed it of much of its value, is at last available at the end of the present volume. Another attraction to all research workers in the field of nuclear physics is an up-to-date table of atomic nuclei, listing their chief physical characteristics, which is in many ways an improvement on the similar tables of Seaborg and of Flügge and Mattauch.
