This book reviews the basic models and theories of nuclear structure and gives an in-depth analysis of their experimental and mathematical foundations. It shows the relationships between the models and exhibits the value of following the strategy of: looking for patterns in all the data available, developing phenomenological models to explain them, and finally giving the models a foundation in a fundamental microscopic theory of interacting neutrons and protons. This unique book takes a newcomer from an introduction to nuclear structure physics to the frontiers of the subject along a painless...

The focus of this volume is to show how the various successful models of nuclear structure complement one another and can be realised as approximations, appropriate in different situations, to an underlying non-relativistic many-nucleon theory of nuclei. In common with the previous volume on Foundational Models, it starts with a broad survey of the relevant nuclear structure data and proceeds with two dominant themes. The first is to review the many-body theories and successful phenomenological models with collective and nucleon degrees of freedom. The second is to show how these models...
