Nuclear Physics (english, Paperback, S.n. Ghoshal)

Designed as a textbook for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of Physics, this well-written text discusses the principles and concepts of nuclear Physics in a simple and an easy-to-understand language. Divided into nineteen chapters, The book discusses the structure and properties of Atomic nucleus, Radioactivity, nuclear radiations, nuclear models, nuclear reactions and accelerators of charged particles. Furthermore, it deals with Neutrons and neutron Physics, nuclear Fission and fusion, use of nuclear energy and Transuranic and other Artificially produced elements. The book concludes with the discussions on nuclear forces and two-body problem, elementary particles and cosmic rays. Table of Contents 1.
