Can you recommend a good book on the theoretical side of nuclear physics?
Your department might have a reading room, where these books would be. Check with your research adviser about this.eXorikos said:Blatt and Weiskopf isn't directly available in our library (no version prior to 1962), the same goes for Feshbach. The books are listed as being in the department of nuclear physics somewhere, but where isn't specified... :/
It was released as a Dover book, which is a reprint series of classic texts, so it should be quite reasonable. Like 20-30 USD. Don't know about the EU, however.eXorikos said:Blatt and Weiskopf is apparently not very recent, but that not a problem it seems? I found Krane a bit old at the beginning... :p It's worth the purchase?
Don't know much about the book, have never looked at it. Go and check it out. When I was in grad school, I would sometimes just go to the library and look at what books were near the ones I was interested in. Libraries typically group books by subject, so this can be useful.eXorikos said:How do you rate The Many-Body Nuclear Problem by Ring and Schuck. At first sight that is the only book directly available.
Theoretical nuclear physics is a branch of physics that focuses on understanding the behavior of atomic nuclei and the interactions between subatomic particles within them.
A book on theoretical nuclear physics may cover topics such as nuclear structure, nuclear reactions, nuclear models, nuclear forces, and applications of nuclear physics.
A book on theoretical nuclear physics is typically intended for students and researchers in the field of nuclear physics, as well as physicists and scientists interested in understanding the fundamental properties of atomic nuclei.
Theoretical nuclear physics plays a crucial role in understanding the structure and behavior of matter at the atomic level, and has numerous applications in fields such as energy production, medicine, and astrophysics.
Some key concepts and theories in theoretical nuclear physics include the shell model, the liquid drop model, the nuclear force, and the standard model of particle physics.
