Could any one suggest one book on nuclear physics to me?

In summary, the conversation is about a student looking for recommendations on books for techniques in nuclear physics and symmetry aspects. Several suggestions are given, including books by Krane and Lilley, as well as newer presentations by different authors. The student expresses gratitude and mentions trying out the recommended books. Another suggestion for Nuclear models by Greiner is also given.

i am a student working on theoretical atomic, molecular, optical physics

i now need to know some techniques in nuclear physics

i am most interested in the symmetry aspects

could anyone suggest a book to me?

I appreciate the help very much.

We have a science book sub-forum, this thread will be moved to that place. You can also look there for old threads.

MY Suggestion is Krane's book and Lilley's both from wiley, those I have used and are quite nice.

But I think these three books are both newer and better presentations, I have not used them, only looked into them.

Nuclear models by Greiner is awesome too!
 

1. What is the best book for beginners in nuclear physics?

The best book for beginners in nuclear physics would depend on your current level of knowledge and the specific topics you are interested in. Some popular options include "Introduction to Nuclear and Particle Physics" by V. K. Mittal and S. R. Bansal, "Nuclear and Particle Physics" by W. S. C. Williams, and "Nuclear Physics: A Very Short Introduction" by Frank Close.

2. Are there any online resources for learning about nuclear physics?

Yes, there are many online resources available for learning about nuclear physics. Some popular options include online courses from universities such as MIT and Yale, as well as educational websites like Khan Academy and Coursera.

3. What are some good books for advanced topics in nuclear physics?

For more advanced topics in nuclear physics, some recommended books include "Nuclear Physics: Principles and Applications" by John Lilley, "Nuclear Structure" by G. R. Satchler, and "Nuclear Physics in a Nutshell" by Carlos A. Bertulani.

4. Can you suggest a book that covers both theoretical and experimental aspects of nuclear physics?

"Nuclear and Particle Physics: An Introduction" by Brian R. Martin and Graham Shaw is a good option for a book that covers both theoretical and experimental aspects of nuclear physics. It also includes exercises and problems for self-study.

5. Are there any books that focus specifically on nuclear astrophysics?

Yes, there are several books specifically focused on nuclear astrophysics, which is the study of nuclear reactions and processes in stars. Some recommended titles include "Nuclear Astrophysics" by Christian Iliadis, "Introduction to Nuclear Astrophysics" by Richard N. Boyd, and "Nuclear Reactions in Stellar Matter" by Wolfgang Hillebrandt and Karlheinz Langanke.
