Interactions, Currents, and the Structure of Few-Nucleon Systems

Abstract

Our current understanding of the structure of nuclei with up to A=8, including energy spectra, electromagnetic form factors, and weak transitions, is reviewed within the context of a realistic approach to nuclear dynamics based on two- and three- nucleon interactions and associated electro-weak currents. Low-energy radiative and weak capture reactions of astrophysical relevance involving these light systems are also discussed.
