Books By Walid Younes, Walter D. Loveland - Author

Walid Younes received his Ph.D. in nuclear physics from Rutgers University in 1996, and joined the experimental nuclear physics group at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory soon after.  For the next ten years, he worked principally on the measurement and interpretation of fission cross sections from neutron-induced reactions.  In 2006, he made the transition to nuclear theory, studying the quantum many-body problem and its application to describe the nuclear fission process.  In addition to numerous publications and presentations on the physics of fission, Dr. Younes co-authored Microscopic Theory of Nuclear Fission in Springer’s “Lecture Notes in Physics” series in 2019.  He has lectured in summer schools and in the nuclear engineering department at the University of California Berkeley on nuclear physics and fission, where he designed and taught a full-semester course on the physics of fission.  Dr. Younes retired fromLLNL in 2019, but maintains an active interest in understanding the fission process
