The last decade has seen a revolution in how we think about nuclear structure. It has become clear that the nucleus is a relativistic system and that the motion of nucleons is best described by the Dirac equation. The book describes some of the successes achieved in the relativistic approach with an emphasis on parameter-free models.

The last decade has seen a revolution in how we think about nuclear structure. It has become clear that the nucleus is a relativistic system and that the motion of nucleons is best described by the Dirac equation. The book describes some of the successes achieved in the relativistic approach with an emphasis on parameter-free models.
This book aims to provide a detailed introduction to the state-of-the-art covariant density functional theory, which follows the Lorentz invariance from the very beginning and is able to describe...
