That sounds perfect, thankyou!eigenmax said:Hi,
Well if you want to know about the passage of radiation through matter, Emilio Segré's ,"Nuclei and Particles", has a long chapter on it. It is rather interesting, although copies may not be that readily available (try eBay, amazon , or Abebooks.)
Some popular books for beginners in nuclear physics are "Introduction to Nuclear and Particle Physics" by A. Das and T. Ferbel, "Nuclear Physics: Principles and Applications" by J.S. Lilley, and "Nuclear Physics: A Course Given by Enrico Fermi at the University of Chicago" by Enrico Fermi.
Yes, "Nuclear Reactor Physics" by Weston M. Stacey and "Introduction to Nuclear Reactor Theory" by John R. Lamarsh are both highly recommended books on nuclear reactor physics.
Some recommended books for advanced study in nuclear physics are "Nuclear Physics: Principles and Applications" by J.S. Lilley, "Introduction to Nuclear and Particle Physics" by A. Das and T. Ferbel, and "Nuclear Structure" by G.R. Satchler.
Yes, "Nuclear Physics: Principles and Applications" by J.S. Lilley and "Introduction to Nuclear and Particle Physics" by A. Das and T. Ferbel both cover both theoretical and experimental aspects of nuclear physics.
"The Making of the Atomic Bomb" by Richard Rhodes and "The First War of Physics: The Secret History of the Atomic Bomb" by Jim Baggott both provide a historical perspective on nuclear physics and the development of the atomic bomb.
