Fundamentals in Nuclear Physics: From Nuclear Structure to Cosmology Hardcover - 2005 - 1st Edition
by Jean-Louis Basdevant; James Rich; Michael Spiro
First line
Nuclear physics started by accident in 1896 with the discovery of radioactivity by Henri Becquerel who noticed that photographic plates were blackened when placed next to uraniuin-sulfide crystals.
From the rear cover
This course explores nuclear physics and its applications ranging from the structure of nuclei and their reactions, to astrophysics and cosmology. The physics is introduced with arguments based on simple ideas such as the empirical structure of nuclear forces and its interplay with the Pauli principle and Coulomb repulsion. The book then develops elementary nuclear models and illustrates nuclear systematics with experimental data. Reactions and decays are discussed both phenomenologically and from the point of view of fundamental electro-weak interaction theory. The discussions of fission and fusion emphasize nuclear energy production. This leads directly into nuclear astrophysics and nucleosynthesis. The book ends with a presentation of the latest ideas about cosmology. As a primer this course will lay the foundations for more specialized subjects within the vast domain of nuclear physics as a whole.
This book emerged from a series of topical courses the authors delivered at the Ecole Polytechnique and will be useful for advanced undergraduates and for scientists in a variety of fields.
