  • Higgs Discovery

    The Power of Empty Space

    by Lisa Randall ...
    On July 4th, 2012, one of physics' most exhilarating results was announced: a new particle – and very likely a new kind of particle – had been discovered at the Large Hadron Collider, the huge particle accelerator designed to reproduce energies present in the universe a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. The particle's existence had been speculated on for nearly fifty years: here, finally, ... Read more

  • Introduction To Covariant Quantum Gravity And Asymptotic Safety, An

    by Roberto Percacci ...
    Series Book 3 - 100 Years Of General Relativity
    This book covers recent developments in the covariant formulation of quantum gravity. Developed in the 1960s by Feynman and DeWitt, by the 1980s this approach seemed to lead nowhere due to perturbative non-renormalizability. The possibility of non-perturbative renormalizability or 'asymptotic safety', originally suggested by Weinberg but largely ignored for two decades, was revived towards the end ... Read more

  • Impact of Fuel Density on Performance and Economy of Research Reactors

    by IAEA ...
    Series Book 2.7 - IAEA Nuclear Energy Series
    Research reactor fuel technology continues to evolve, driven in part by international efforts to develop high density fuels to enable the conversion of more reactors from highly enriched uranium (HEU) to low enriched uranium (LEU) fuels. These high density fuels may offer economic benefits for research reactors, despite being more expensive initially, because they offer the prospect of higher per ... Read more

  • Exotic Nuclear Excitations: The Transverse Wobbling Mode in 135 Pr

    by James Till Matta ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The work presented in this thesis established the existence of wobbling at low spin and low deformation in the Z~60, N~76 nuclear region. This opens the region to further searches for wobbling and shows that wobbling is not confined to a particular quasiparticle orbital, spin or deformation.While deformed nuclei usually have axial shape, triaxial shapes have been predicted at low to moderate spins ...

  • Nuclear Force , A New Formula

    It is well established that the forces between nucleons are transmitted by mesons. According to the meson theory, the quantitative explanation of the nuclear forces was extremely tentative and incomplete. But this theory presents a valuable point of view. It is fairly certain now that the nucleons within nuclear matter are in a state made rather different from their free condition by the proximity ... Read more
