The forum discussion centers on recommendations for comprehensive nuclear physics textbooks suitable for BS Hons (in Physics) students. Participants suggest several titles, including "Introductory Nuclear Physics" by Kenneth Krane and "Particles and Nuclei" by B. Povh et al., published by Springer in 2015. The discussion highlights the importance of consulting instructors for tailored recommendations and emphasizes the need for books that provide detailed explanations and a broad context in nuclear physics. Additionally, "The Atomic Nucleus" by Evans (1955) is mentioned as a historically significant supplementary text.

Faisal Moshiur said:I'm a BS Hons (in Physics) student. We've a course named nuclear physics where we had taken help from book named Elements of Nuclear Physics. However, it seems insufficient to (not elaborately explained) read. So would you please help me with recommendations of books which has plethora of info about Nuclear physics for Honours in Physics level stuffs.[emoji52]
Who wrote it? Most physicists remember the authors of textbooks, not the titles.Faisal Moshiur said:book named Elements of Nuclear Physics
Its Meyerhof's onejtbell said:Who wrote it? Most physicists remember the authors of textbooks, not the titles.
A Google search for that title finds at least two books: one by Meyerhof and one by Burcham. I've never seen either of them, so I have no idea what would be comparable (if it is indeed one of those two).
Actually our lecturer used different sources alongside the aforementioned book (with greater importance). However, I personally want a book or even two with most elaborately explained and comprehensive context about Nuclear physics.ZapperZ said:Have you presented the same question to your instructor? If yes, what was his/her answer? If not, why not?
