Discovering the Fundamentals of Nuclear Physics to Books

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking to understand the fundamentals of nuclear physics, several book recommendations emerged in the discussion. "An Introduction to Nuclear Physics" by W. N. Cottingham and D. A. is suggested as a solid starting point. Additionally, "Introductory Nuclear Physics" by K. Krane is noted for its clarity and comprehensiveness. Jim also recommends "Nuclear and Radiochemistry" by Gerhart Friedlander, Joseph W. Kenedy, and Julian Malcolm Miller, highlighting its value through extensive use. These resources provide a strong foundation in nuclear physics concepts.

can anybody suggest me a book for knowing fundamental concepts of nuclear physics
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Here's one: An Introduction to nuclear physics. by W. N. Cottingham, D. A.
hope it helps.
-cheers. :biggrin:
 
Arthur Beiser is good too..
 
I've found that Introductory Nuclear Physics by K. Krane is good too.
 
Nuclear and Radiochemistry

I've worn out my 2nd edition authored by: Gerhart Friedlander, the late Joseph W. Kenedy,co-discoverer of Pu, and Julian Malcolm Miller. cheers, Jim
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
