Nuclear interactions evolved via renormalization group methods to lower resolution become increasingly non-local (off-diagonal in coordinate space) as they are softened. This inhibits both the development of intuition about the interactions and their use with some methods for solving the quantum many-body problem. By applying "local projections", a softened interaction can be reduced to a local effective interaction plus a non-local residual interaction. At the two-body level, a local projection after similarity renormalization group (SRG) evolution manifests the elimination of short-range repulsive cores and the flow toward universal low-momentum interactions. The SRG residual interaction is found to be relatively weak at low energy, which motivates a perturbative treatment.

“…[2] Following that blip, two nuclear textbooks were published, Nuclear Physics: energy and matter (Pearson, 1986) and Introductory Nuclear Physics (Krane, 1988), which gave more than lip-service to the problem of the nuclear weapon arsenals. Introductory Nuclear Physics has nearly four pages on thermonuclear weapons (pp.…”

The Shadow of the Bomb: A Study of Degree-Level Nuclear Physics Textbooks

The author presents a textual analysis of 57 nuclear physics textbooks for senior-level physics degree students. The work investigates how the textbooks relate to an aspect that is relevant and important but almost wholly avoided, namely nuclear weapons. Most of the books do, however, contain expositions of other applications, notably nuclear power reactors. These expositions are often enthusiastic and occasionally extravagant. When the existing apocalyptic arsenals are borne in mind, the textbooks' asymmetry is seen to be problematic. The publication dates of the textbooks range from 1950 to 2010, yet for the question addressed in this study remarkably little has changed. This study emphasises the culture in which we all live, rather than individual specialists. The author concludes that a response to our nuclear situation, based on a rational programme for long-term survival, rather than on psychological defences, has to come from all. Experts do have special responsibilities but the author maintains that it is unrealistic to expect specialist groups, such as those involved in producing textbooks, to act independently of the wider culture.

“…Similar to quantum generation phenomenon and some other physical effects going on intensive avalance-like scheme there are analogous processes occur by the chain fission of a heavy nucleuses [5] [9] [13] [14]: the vigorous growth of total number of neutrons, charged particles and charged fission splinters having enormous kinetic energy of motion is observed. This known phenomenon (charges motion in vacuum with great speed) is put into basis of nuclear electrodynamic effect.…”

The study of own fields and charged particles motion and also charged fission splinters of a heavy nucleuses into nonrelativistic approximation is the subject of this article research. The main efforts are concentrated in quest of charged share components by the radioactive β − -disintegration. The corresponding field equations and equations of motion in the nuclear electrodynamics processes are obtained and their solutions are found. Analysis of the microscopic equations is generalized to the level of the macroscopic description of continuous medium electrodynamics and is accompanied by quantum mechanical additions. The obtained theoretical results can be a basis for the further mathematical modelling of generation phenomenon of powerful directional electromagnetic fields on the toroid with external winding in the process of chain reaction fission and for the further creation of the nuclear electrogenerator (nuclegen) as a peculiar analogy to the quantum generator.
