description

The first two chapters of this book presented angular momentum algebra as the basic tool of nuclear theory. That includes angular momentum coupling coefficients, spherical tensor operators and reduced matrix elements. In the preceding chapter we introduced the mean-field concept, along with associated many-nucleon wave functions, Slater determinants, describing configurations of non-interacting particles in mean-field single-particle orbitals.
