Leaving out of consideration those nuclei of small atomic number it is possible to develop a statistical theory of nuclei. Bethe and Bacher (1936, p. 149), as well as many other writers, have treated this subject in great detail starting from the Hartree approximation. All these investigations were mainly concerned with the binding energy, and not much attention has been paid so far to the stability of nuclei according to the statistical theory, except the determination of the most stable nucleus with a given atomic number: this is due to the fact that previous investigators have always neglected to distinguish between quantum states with opposite spin, thereby losing the distinction between “odd” and “even” nuclei, which is essential for stability considerations.


Computed tomography is a method for obtaining a series of radiographic pictures of contiguous slices through a solid object such as the human body. Each picture is computed from a set of X-ray transmission measurements and represents the distribution of X-ray attenuation in the slice. The high sensitivity of the method to changes in both density and atomic number has resulted in the development of new diagnostic methods in medicine. The limitations of the method are discussed in terms of two particular kinds of application. First, those applications in which a very precise determination of density or atomic number is required, but at low spatial resolution; an example would be the determination of the uniformity of mixture of plastics or metals. The second kind of application is that requiring high spatial resolution as in the detection of cracks and the visualization of internal structures in complicated objects.
