An Introduction to Nuclear Physics – W. N. Cottingham, D. A. Greenwood – 2nd Edition

Description

This book provides an excellent basis for a core module in nuclear physics for intermediate university students of physics. It is distinguished by its combination of clarity and conciseness. The book opens by setting nuclear physics in the context of elementary particle physics and goes on to describe many aspects and applications of nuclear physics. This second edition contains several new additional topics. Each chapter ends with a set of problems for which outline solutions are provided.
