Weak and Electromagnetic Interactions in Nuclei: Proceedings of the International Symposium, Heidelberg, July 1–5, 1986

Nuclear physics is shortly experiencing a thrust in the direction of primary phy­ sics questions. Low-energy experiments assist in checking out past state-of-the-art stan­ dard versions of particle physics. the quest for finite neutrino plenty and neutrino oscillations, for proton decay, infrequent and forbidden muon and pion de­ cays, for an electrical dipole second of the neutron denote the various efforts to check cutting-edge theories of grand unification (GUTs, SUSYs, Superstrings, .

Some information can be obtained from diffraction experiments but at present the properties of the intermediate size defects have to be inferred from changes in properties produced by them. Irradiation is not the only method of producing lattice defects. They may be produced by heat treatment and some defects are always present in unirradiated graphite. Point Defects The simplest defects that can be considered are vacant lattice sites and interstitial atoms. The equilibrium position for an interstitial atom is one which gives the maximum spacing between the interstitial and the surrounding atoms and therefore the minimum energy.
