Elementary theory of angular momentum

M.E. Rose0486684806, 9780486684802

High-level treatment offers especially clear discussions of the general theory and its applications. Basic principles, coupling coefficients for vector addition, transformation properties of the angular momentum wave functions under rotations of the coordinate axes, irreducible tensors and Racah coefficients. Also, applications involving oriented nuclei, coupling schemes in nuclear reactions, more. References. 1957 edition.
