An Introduction to Nuclear Physics

A clear and concise introduction to nuclear physics suitable for a core undergraduate physics course.

Informationen zum Autor Noel Cottingham is a theoretician working in the HH Wills Physics Laboratory at the University of Bristol. He is also a visiting professor at the Université Pierre at Marie Curie, Paris. Klappentext A clear and concise introduction to nuclear physics suitable for a core undergraduate physics course. Zusammenfassung This wonderfully clear and concise nuclear physics textbook provides the basis for a core second/third year undergraduate physics module. A wide range of applications and aspects of nuclear physics are described! for example power generation from nuclear fission! nucleosynthesis! biological effects of nuclear radiation! solar neutrinos! neutrino physics.
