Publisher's Synopsis
This book is devoted to the role of gamma-ray and conversion-electron spectroscopy in developing understanding of nuclear structure and nuclear reaction-mechanisms. The level of treatment is chosen so as to introduce graduate students into the field as well as to familiarize more experienced nuclear physicists with the new developments over the last decade.;The study aims to present conversion-electron spectroscopy from the point of view of nuclear structure as well as of the reaction mechanism, stressing the simplicity and familiarity of the electromagnetic interaction which gives accurate values for many nuclear quantities and reveals special nuclear properties.
