The book discusses issues related to the study of the atomic nucleus and its structure, nuclear forces, and the components of the nucleus. It also describes the achievements of Soviet scientists in the field of nuclear energy.
After graduating from the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics at university, Vera Aleksandrovna entered postgraduate studies and later became a research fellow at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in the town of Dubna. For nearly twelve years, she participated in experiments conducted on a particle accelerator — the synchrocyclotron. Vera Aleksandrovna is a co-author of many scientifi c papers on the study of the properties of mu-mesons.
In recent years, she has published over ten articles in journals such as Znanie — Sila (Knowledge Is Power), Science and Life, Technology for the Youth, and others.
The topics of these articles include problems in nuclear physics, high-energy physics, astrophysics, controlled thermonuclear fusion, the application of scientific achievements in The human practice, and the future of science. Many of these articles have been reprinted in foreign journals.
In 1973, our publishing house released her book Mysteries of the Microworld, which discussed some current problems in the physics of elementary particles. Conversations About the Atomic Nucleus is the author’s second book to appear in the Eureka series.
