Overview

Nuclear physics is a field of physics, which studies the nucleus of an atom and its constituents and the interactions between them. The study of the nucleus can be approached from both classical and quantum mechanical theories using the liquid-drop model and nuclear shell model respectively. Interacting boson model and ab initio methods are alternative theories to the study of the nucleus. Some of the areas of study in nuclear physics include nuclear decay, radioactivity, nucleosynthesis, etc. Advances in nuclear physics have brought about advancements in nuclear medicine, nuclear power, nuclear weapons, magnetic resonance imaging and radiocarbon dating. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and principles in the field of nuclear physics. Different approaches, evaluations and methodologies have been included herein. This book, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels.
