Thermodynamic properties of atomic nuclei with T < 1 MeV

The thermal motion of single quasi-particles represents the largest contribution to nuclear entropy and is essential for the description of thermodynamic properties. The entropy is an approximately extensive (additive) quantity and the concept of thermal quasi-particle entropy is presented. Various...

Description
Summary:The thermal motion of single quasi-particles represents the largest contribution to nuclear entropy and is essential for the description of thermodynamic properties. The entropy is an approximately extensive (additive) quantity and the concept of thermal quasi-particle entropy is presented. Various applications of thermodynamics in heated nuclei are discussed.
