Description

In the book, contents are organized in eighteen chapters. In the first chapter, we get few basic ideas in nuclear physics which are necessary to develop the rest chapters. It deals with the basic concepts in nuclear physics. In chapter two, nuclear structure model is described. Chapter three is devoted to spontaneous decay of nuclei. The chapters four, five and six deal with nuclear decays by alpha-decay, beta-decay and gamma-decay as a usual sequence for studying such topics in nuclear physics. The chapters seven, eight, nine, ten and eleven deal with nuclear reaction, nuclear reaction models and nuclear reaction mechanisms. A large body of the book is given to this topic because many properties of nuclei are explained from their interactions. Nuclear fission and fusion are discussed in chapters twelve and thirteen. Chapter fourteen deals with electromagnetic interaction with nuclei followed by introduction to particle physics in chapter fifteen. Finally, the author present three additional chapters: Interaction of radiations with matter, data analysis methods in nuclear physics and some applications of nuclear physics.
