Modern nuclear physics : from fundamentals to frontiers

By: Obertelli, Alexandre.
Contributor(s): Sagawa, Hiroyuki.
Series: UNITEXT for physics. / edited by Michele Cini ...[et al.].Publisher: Singapore Springer 2021Description: xv, 727p.ISBN: 9789811622885 .Subject(s): Nuclear physicsDDC classification: 539.7 | Ob2m Summary: This textbook is a unique and ambitious primer of nuclear physics, which introduces recent theoretical and experimental progresses starting from basics in fundamental quantum mechanics. The highlight is to offer an overview of nuclear structure phenomena relevant to recent key findings such as unstable halo nuclei, superheavy elements, neutron stars, nucleosynthesis, the standard model, lattice quantum chromodynamics (LQCD), and chiral effective theory. An additional attraction is that general properties of nuclei are comprehensively explained from both the theoretical and experimental viewpoints. The book begins with the conceptual and mathematical basics of quantum mechanics, and goes into the main point of nuclear physics – nuclear structure, radioactive ion beam physics, and nuclear reactions. The last chapters devote interdisciplinary topics in association with astrophysics and particle physics. A number of illustrations and exercises with complete solutions are given. Each chapter is comprehensively written starting from fundamentals to gradually reach modern aspects of nuclear physics with the objective to provide an effective description of the cutting edge in the field
