Description
Nuclear Physics An Introduction by S. B. Patel provides a clear and direct introduction to nuclear physics, building on a foundation in modern physics. The author uses physical ideas as the primary focus, with informal discussions and analogies to help illustrate complex concepts. The book begins with an overview of the tools used in nuclear physics, including both experimental and mathematical approaches. A key aspect of the text is its treatment of the nuclear shell model, which is explained through comparisons with atomic and molecular physics. This approach makes the subject more accessible to students who have already studied modern physics at a college level. With numerous illustrative examples, 200 neatly drawn figures, and problem question sets, Nuclear Physics An Introduction offers a comprehensive resource for those looking to explore nuclear physics in depth.
