Description
This title provides the latest information on nuclear physics.Based on a course entitled Applications of Nuclear Physics. Writtenfrom an experimental point of view this text is broadly dividedinto two parts, firstly a general introduction to Nuclear Physicsand secondly its applications.
* Includes chapters on practical examples and problems
* Contains hints to solving problems which are included in theappendix
* Avoids complex and extensive mathematical treatments
* A modern approach to nuclear physics, covering the basic theory,but emphasising the many and important applications
