The Spanish Armada

The Spanish Armada

The defeat of the Spanish Armada was a turning point in world history. To the surprise of King Philip II of Spain, his magnificent fleet sent to invade England was virtually destroyed in two weeks by Queen Elizabeth's navy. Here Dr. Lewis presents a complete analysis of the defeat of the Spaniards in 1588, of the respective commanders and their men, their ships and weapons, their living conditions and morale, the strengths and weaknesses, mistakes and triumphs of both sides. In doing so he reveals the real reasons for England's victory over the apparently invincible Spanish fleet.

A Study Of The Isoscalar Giant Monopole Resonance

Image
Download A Study Of The Isoscalar Giant Monopole Resonance Authors: Patel, Darshana Chandrakant This thesis reports on investigations of a specific collective mode of nuclear vibration, the isoscalar giant monopole resonance (ISGMR), the nuclear "breathing mode", the energy of which is directly related to a fundamental property of nuclei—the nuclear incompressibility. The alpha inelastic scattering experiments reported in this thesis have been critical to answering some fundamental questions about nuclear incompressibility and the symmetry energy, quantities that are crucial to our understanding of a number of phenomena in nuclear physics and astrophysics, including collective excitations in nuclei, radii of neutron stars, and the nature of stellar collapse and supernova explosions. The work described included three sets of experiments and subsequent sophisticated data analysis, both leading to results that have been welcomed by the community ...
