Summary

"Povh and Rosina's "Scattering and Structures" presents the properties of quantum systems (elementary particles, nucleons, atoms, molecules, quantum gases, quantum liquids, stars and the early universe) emphasising fundamental concepts and the analogies between these seemingly different systems. The original German-language edition of this book was written for students preparing for their final oral examination in physics. The English text has been significantly enlarged and thus may also be of interest for a wide range of physicists."--Jacket.
