In this book the authors present the basic formalism to describe the electromagnetic field and its interaction with nuclear matter. Among the areas studied are pion production, polarization phenomena, and photonuclear reactions at intermediate energies. At a time when data will become available from many newly commissioned laboratories both in Europe and the USA, this book offers a timely presentation of the current understanding of the electromagnetic response of atomic nuclei. Its introductory approach and rich bibliography will make it invaluable to postgraduate students and researchers.
The book presents the understanding of the structure and dynamics of atomic nuclei in terms of nucleons, pions, and quarks within a unified treatment of the nuclear response to an electromagnetic probe. With reference to a wide bibliography the most relevant data and models are reviewed and the question of how composite particles such as a proton or a neutron behave in a nuclear environment is answered within present knowledge.
