Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book details quantum Monte Carlo computational methods to study electroweak structure and reactions in light nuclei across a wide range of experimentally relevant kinematics. Nuclei will play a prominent role in searches for physics beyond the standard model as the active material in experiments, and so in order to reliably interpret new physics signals, one needs an accurate model of the underlying nuclear dynamics. This thesis explores key topics such as beta-decay rates, muon capture, and electromagnetic moments and form factors, providing important theoretical predictions for both the standard model and searches for new physics. This book documents the application of models incorporating two- and three-nucleon interactions, as well as many-nucleon electroweak currents, thus contributing to precision tests of nuclear physics.

Vintage candid reference photograph from the 1946 Western, showing a smiling King Vidor making a point to a radiant Jennifer Jones. Based on the 1944 novel by Niven Busch. Jones and Lillian Gish were nominated for Academy Awards for their roles. 8.25 x 10 inches. Near Fine.

Two vintage borderless reference photographs and two vintage bordered reference photographs of director King Vidor on the set of the 1946 Western film. Three linen-backed with printed mimeo snipes affixed to the verso. Based on Niven Busch's 1944 novel. Two brothers fight over their love for a young relative while their father attempts to sway railroad builders from constructing a new line on his land. A lavish "epic" Western from Selznick, who saw the film as a definite successor to his monumental "Gone With the Wind" (1939). Set in Texas, shot on location in Arizona and California. Two 9.5 x 7.25 inches, two 10 x 8 inches. Generally Very Good plus, with light creasing and wear on the edges. Hardy, p. 152. Pitts 1187.
