Compound Nuclear Reactions and Related Topics: Proceedings of the 2007 International Workshop on Compound-nuclear Reactions and Related Topic - CNR* 2007: v. 1005 (AIP Conference Proceedings) - Tapa dura

All papers have been peer-reviewed. Compound-nuclear reactions play a crucial role in nuclear astrophysics, nuclear energy, and national security. Although the concept of the compound nucleus dates back to the 1930s, a comprehensive, quantitative description of compound-nuclear reactions remains to be established. CNR* 2007 brought together experts in nuclear theory, experiment, and data evaluation to review current efforts aimed at understanding compound-nuclear reactions and to identify strategies for addressing open questions.

Ian J. Thompson is a Nuclear Physicist in the Nuclear Theory and Modeling Group at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA, having until 2006 been Professor of Physics at the University of Surrey, UK. His research deals with coupled-channels and few-body models for nuclear structure and reactions, especially concerning halo nuclei. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics.
