Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around recommendations for books on nuclear physics, specifically focusing on techniques and symmetry aspects relevant to theoretical atomic, molecular, and optical physics.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant, a student, seeks book recommendations on nuclear physics, emphasizing interest in symmetry aspects.
  • Another participant suggests Krane's and Lilley's books from Wiley, noting they have used them and found them helpful.
  • This participant also mentions three additional books they believe are newer and potentially better, although they have not used them personally.
  • A later reply highlights "Nuclear Models" by Greiner as an excellent resource.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

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.
