Opis

The thought of this text book originated from the author's research and academic experience in Iraqi Atomic Energy Commission (IAEC) and various universities in Iraq in departments of nuclear engineering and physics over several years.The majority of undergraduates 'and to some extent graduates' have poor information in atomic physics and a lack of knowledge of the physical background of quantum mechanics. Chapter Five is devoted to relate the quantum mechanics concepts and their terminologies with the nuclear concepts.This book is intended for junior as well as senior undergraduate courses, particularly for students who have had previous contact with quantum mechanics.It can also be used in introductory graduate surveys of nuclear physics. The book is based on two semester course on nuclear physics (excluding particle physics). I have taken the physical view that it is more important that students see an overview of the subject which for many 'possibly the majority' will be the only time they study nuclear and particle physics.the first four chapters deal with nuclear properties and radioactive decay.The rest of the chapters are devoted to the nuclear structure and interactions.
