Nuclear Nuclear Physics Book Recommendations?

AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for basic nuclear physics books focus on neutron radiation and its interactions with materials. Emilio Segré's "Nuclei and Particles" is highlighted for its comprehensive chapter on the passage of radiation through matter, making it a suitable choice for those not seeking detailed mathematical explanations. Availability may vary, with suggestions to check platforms like eBay, Amazon, or Abebooks for copies. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding neutron temperatures and the effects of radiation on stable materials, including their potential to become radioactive.

Does anyone have some good recommendations for basic nuclear physics books? I'm not particularly fussed about the detailed maths at the moment but I'm mostly searching for books on neutron radiation and the interaction of different neutron temperatures with different materials. Also anything on the affects of radiation on stable materials and how they can sometimes also become radioactive.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Well if you want to know about the passage of radiation through matter, Emilio Segré's ,"Nuclei and Particles", has a long chapter on it. It is rather interesting, although copies may not be that readily available (try eBay, amazon , or Abebooks.)

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
