The Strategic Pendulum: United States Nuclear Forces Strategy During the Cold War
Since the advent of nuclear weapons technology, the United States has endeavored to utilize its nuclear forces to secure its foreign policy objectives and national security interests. Those objectives and interests have primarily included deterring Soviet aggression against the United States and …

Nuclear Forces and the Geopolitical Objectives of the People's Republic of China
… at odds with American interests in the Pacific. Nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles are expected to be important instruments for the enhancement of Chinese power, especially in relation to the United States. Geopolitical objectives mesh with Chinese political and strategic culture to encourage …

The charge dependence of the nuclear forces and the A = 14 isobaric triplet
… for the charge-dependent Coulomb and spin-orbit forces. The residual shifts are attributed to the charge-dependent nuclear force, and two equations for the four parameters are obtained.

Withering Triad: an Examination of the Modernization Programs For the Strategic Nuclear Forces of the United States
The strategic nuclear triad was the foundation of the American military posture for the duration of the Cold War. During this period, the United States developed detailed roles, missions, and requirements for these forces. With the pronounced termination of the Cold War, the forces that compose the …

U.S. Nuclear Weapons Policy: a Post-Soviet Reappraisal
… is international interest in the acquisition of nuclear weapons. Both Russia and China, among others, maintain and continue to modernize arsenals of nuclear weapons. The U.S. response to these security challenges has traditionally subordinated ballistic missile defense to nuclear deterrence. …

U.S. Abrogation of the I.N.F. Treaty: Implications for Russian-Sino Relations
… by the absence of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, also known as the I.N.F. Treaty. Through historical evidence of the strategic partnership, along with various balancing theories, this thesis presents the argument that American abrogation of the I.N.F. Treaty would result in …

Neutrino emission and pion condensation in dense matter
… model is made more realistic by including other forces: s-wave pion-nucleon interactions pi-pi interactions, and phenomenological form factors in these interactions. These modifications have little influence on the stability of the system. Finally, effects of repulsive nuclear forces on pion …

Polarization in neutron-deuteron scattering from 8 to 22 MeV
… evidence of breaking of the charge symmetry of nuclear forces.

Varying Priorities in Strategic Nuclear Arms Control
<p>Since the beginning of strategic nuclear arms control negotiations in 1969, Moscow and Washington have entered discussions with priorities to be met, though these differed greatly from one another. There were many driving factors for both world powers in seeking limitations and restrictions of …

Soviet/Russian Strategic Defenses: the Pursuit of Dominance
… the importance of strategic defense in the nuclear age. Soviet nuclear doctrine centered on a war-fighting/damage-limiting strategy, and strategic defenses were seen as an important component of that strategy. This has not changed in the transformation of the USSR to Russia. The …

The politics of innovative military doctrine : the U.S. Navy and fleet ballistic missiles
… the U.S. Navy during periods of major strategic nuclear modernization, when national leaders were concerned about the vulnerability of U.S. Air Force land based nuclear forces to Soviet attack. Both Navy systems provided a superior alternative to bomber and ICBM weapon systems of the time, but …

Military Modernization of the People's Liberation Army and the Prospect For Conflict With Taiwan
… been replaced by an emphasis on standing forces able to deploy rapidly with high degrees of mobility, firepower, and sustainability. The focus of military modernization within the military services has emphasized these factors as well as enhancing the power projection capabilities of the …

Variational Theory of Hot Dense Matter
We develop a variational theory of hot nuclear matter in neutron stars and supernovae. It can also be used to study charged, hot nuclear matter which may be produced in heavy-ion collisions. This theory is a generalization of the variational theory of cold nuclear and neutron star matter based on …

Calling Putin’s Bluff (Or Not?) An Assessment of Russian Attachment to the INF Treaty and Its Implications
… Russian Federation of violating the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, the dispute surrounding the compliance of both parties has largely remained unchanged. Despite numerous indications of interest in withdrawal from the INF Treaty, Russian policymakers have yet to make an effort to do so. …

Exploring the quark-gluon content of hadrons: from mesons to nuclear matters
… freedom. Moreover, the problem of describing the nuclear force from its quark-gluon origin is still open. While a direct solution of QCD to describe the hadrons and nuclear force is not possible at this time, we explore a variety of developed approaches ranging from phenomenology to first …

Measurement of Generalized GDH Integrand for the Neutron and 3He at Low Q2
… the confinement of quarks and gluons, the nuclear forces, and the nucleon mass and structure, still remain in the non-perturbative regime. Dispersive sum rules, based on universal principles, provide a data-driven approach to study the nucleon structure without model-dependencies. Among …

Hide and Seek: Remote Sensing and Strategic Stability
The competition between the survivability of nuclear arsenals and the counterforce weapons that hold them at risk has been ongoing since the dawn of the nuclear age. A spate of technological and political developments have called the endurance of stability into question once again. This thesis …
