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?

Some recommended introductory books on nuclear physics include "Introduction to Nuclear Physics" by Kenneth S. Krane, "Nuclear Physics: Principles and Applications" by John Lilley, and "Nuclear and Particle Physics: An Introduction" by Brian R. Martin and Graham Shaw.
Yes, there are several books that cover both theoretical and experimental aspects of nuclear physics. Some examples include "Nuclear Physics: A Course Given by Enrico Fermi at the University of Chicago" by Enrico Fermi, "Nuclear Physics: Exploring the Heart of Matter" by John Dirk Walecka, and "Nuclear Physics: Principles and Applications" by John Lilley.
For graduate students, some highly recommended advanced books on nuclear physics include "Nuclear Models" by Walter Greiner, "Introduction to Nuclear and Particle Physics" by Ashok Das and Thomas Ferbel, and "Nuclear and Particle Physics: An Introduction" by William S. C. Williams.
Yes, there are several books that focus specifically on nuclear reactions and their applications. Some examples include "Nuclear Reactions for Astrophysics" by Ian J. Thompson, "Nuclear Reactions: An Introduction" by Philip J. Woods and Colin A. Poole, and "Nuclear Reactions for Astrophysics: Principles, Calculation and Applications of Low-Energy Reactions" by Christian Iliadis.
There are several books that delve into the history and development of nuclear physics. Some recommended titles include "Inward Bound: Of Matter and Forces in the Physical World" by Abraham Pais, "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" by Richard Rhodes, and "The Discovery of the Neutron" by James Chadwick.
