This specific quantity experiences greater than fifty years of theoretical and experimental advancements of the concept homes of atomic nuclei as much as an exceptional quantity are outlined by way of the pair correlations of nuclear parts — protons and neutrons. Such correlations in condensed subject are liable for quantum phenomena on a macroscopic point — superfluidity and superconductivity. After introducing Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) idea of superconductivity of metals, it grew to become transparent that atomic nuclei have houses of superfluid drops, and virtually all gains of nuclei strongly rely on the pair correlations.

Presenting a accomplished evaluation of the growth of nuclear technology, the contributions from major physicists all over the world, hide the total spectrum of reports in nuclear physics and physics of different small platforms. With the main up to date info written in an obtainable means, the amount will function an irreplaceable resource of references masking decades of improvement and perception into numerous new difficulties on the frontiers of technology. it will likely be important not just for physicists operating in nuclear and condensed subject physics, astrophysicists, chemists and historians of technological know-how, yet also will support scholars comprehend the present prestige and views for the future.
