Stopping powers.Full-text restricted to subscribers or individual document purchasers.This book explores the often underappreciated domain of nuclear data. In doing so, it covers a range of different industrial and societal applications, starting with the emerging domain of nuclear fusion before discussing several different aspects where nuclear data is important to nuclear fission energy and the nuclear fuel cycle. Lastly, the book covers topics related to medical isotope production. The introductory chapter provides an overview of key topics in nuclear structure, nuclear reaction theory and nuclear data evaluation which underpin the other chapters. This book will interest final year undergraduate students and PhD students with a background in physics. It will also interest those beginning their career in the nuclear industry. Part of IOP Series in Nuclear Spectroscopy and Nuclear Structure.Undergraduate students taking final year projects with nuclear data relevance, studying nuclear engineering, or wanting to broaden their knowledge of nuclear physics and its applications. Postgraduate students engaged on research related to nuclear data applications.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Professor David Jenkins is Head of the Nuclear Physics Group at the University of York, UK. He is also a Fellow of the Institute of Advanced Study, University of Strasbourg (USIAS) and an Extraordinary Professor of the University of Western Cape in South Africa. His research in experimental nuclear physics focusses on several topics such as nuclear astrophysics, clustering in nuclei and the study of proton-rich nuclei. In recent years, he has developed a strong strand of applications-related research with extensive industrial collaboration. He has led the development of bespoke radiation detectors for homeland security, nuclear decommissioning, borehole logging and medical applications.Title from PDF title page (viewed on December 1, 2025).
