This revised and updated 4th edition explores the challenges that faced the scientists and engineers of the Manhattan Project. It gives a clear introduction to fission weapons at the level of an upper-year undergraduate physics student by examining the details of nuclear reactions, their energy release, analytic and numerical models of the fission process, how critical masses can be estimated, how fissile materials are produced, and what factors complicate bomb design. An extensive list of references and a number of exercises for self-study are included. .Revisions to this fourth edition include many upgrades and new sections. Improvements are made to, among other things, the analysis of the physics of the fission barrier, the time-dependent simulation of the explosion of a nuclear weapon, and the discussion of tamped bomb cores.New sections cover, for example, composite bomb cores, approximate methods for various of the calculations presented, and the physics of the polonium-beryllium "neutron initiators" used to trigger the bombs..The author | | 出版日期 | Textbook 2021Latest edition | | 关键词 | Calculate Critical Mass Bomb; History of the Atomic Bomb; Manhattan Project; Manhattan Project Calculat | | 版次 | 4 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-61373-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-61375-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-61373-0 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
