This book gives an account of the properties of the interacting boson model.

This book describes the mathematical framework on which the interacting boson-fermion model is built and presents applications to a variety of situations encoun

applications to the structure of atomic nuclei. The author systematically develops these models from the elementary level, through an introduction to tensor alg

The fundamental model of nuclear structure is the shell model. However, its application has been limited to light nuclei (up to the sd shell) or heavier nuclei
