Fundamentals in Nuclear Physics From Nuclear Structure to Cosmology

Fundamentals in Nuclear Physics From Nuclear Structure to Cosmology / by Jean-Louis Basdevant, James Rich, Michael Spiro.

This course explores nuclear physics and its applications ranging from the structure of nuclei and their reactions, to astrophysics and cosmology. The physics is introduced with arguments based on simple ideas such as the empirical structure of nuclear forces and its interplay with the Pauli princip...
