Description
Nuclear Physics: A Course Given by Enrico Fermi at the University of Chicago
This comprehensive textbook presents the lecture notes from Enrico Fermi's 1949 course on nuclear physics at the University of Chicago. Covering topics from atomic nuclei and nuclear forces to mesons, cosmic rays, fission, and elementary pile theory, the book is geared towards experimenters rather than specialists in nuclear theory.
With a focus on the experimental approach, this publication provides a sound understanding of nuclear physics, accompanied by a copious supply of problems for further study. It offers a valuable contribution to the field, making Fermi's lecture material accessible to a wider audience.
