Review:
Fundamentals in Nuclear Physics explores nuclear physics and its applications ranging from nuclear structure and reactions to astrophysics and cosmology. The physics is introduced using simple ideas such as the empirical structure of nuclear forces, the Pauli principle, and Coulomb repulsion. The book develops elementary nuclear models, discusses reactions and decays phenomenologically and from the perspective of electro-weak interaction theory, and covers fission, fusion, nuclear energy production, nuclear astrophysics, nucleosynthesis, and cosmology. This course emerged from lectures at the École Polytechnique and is useful for advanced undergraduates and scientists in various fields. The Springer South Asia Edition is authorized for sale in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.
