excellent mathematical introduction to subject
|
As I was involved in neutron scattering experiments, I always wanted to learn about mathematical foundations of thermal neutron scattering.
This book is one of the classic books on the subject.
It consists of 9 chapters and 9 appendices.
The first four chapters explain completely about the mathematical foundations in a sequencial manner.
These cover basic properties of the neutron, Fermi's golden rule, scattering cross section, coherent and incoherent scattering and elastic, inelastic scattering.
Please note that this book is suitable for an analytical purpose and not for a general introduction to neutron scattering.

Good Introduction
|
For its price and size, this is an excellent introduction to the world of neutron scattering. It should cover any undergraduate course in this discipline, upto Masters level.
The book, for a physics high-level intro, is remarkably accessible and has great clarity. I used it for my Probes of Matter course and it is providing a good companion. It covers nuclear and magnetic scattering, scattering by liquids and scattering by crystals. Recommended.
