INTRODUCTORY NUCLEAR PHYSICS

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: From the Publisher This comprehensive text provides an introduction to basic nuclear physics, including nuclear decays and reactions and nuclear structure, while covering the essential areas of basic research and practical applications. Its emphasis on phenomonology and the results of real experiments distinguish this from all other texts available. Discussions of theory are reinforced with examples which illustrate and apply the theoretical formulism, thus aiding students in their reading and analysis of current literature. The text is designed to provide a core of material for students with minimal background in mathematics or quantum theory and offers more sophisticated material in separate sections. About the Author Kenneth S. Krane is Professor of Physics at Oregon State University, where he has served on the faculty since 1974, including 14 years as Department Chair. He received the Ph.D. in nuclear physics from Purdue University in 1970 and held postdoctoral research positions at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory before joining the faculty at Oregon State. His research involves nuclear structure and nuclear spectroscopy, and has led to more than 100 papers in refereed journals and 30 years of funding in experimental nuclear physics from NSF and DOE. He was selected to be a Fellow of the American Physical Society by the Division of Nuclear Physics. He is also involved in education research and curriculum development and has held numerous NSF grants supporting those activities. He has served as chair of the APS Committee on Education, the APS Forum on Education, and the AIP Advisory Committee on Physics Education. From 1995-2006 he was the director of the Workshop for New Faculty in Physics and Astronomy, a national mentoring program for college and university faculty. In 2004 he was awarded the Millikan Medal of the American Association of Physics Teachers in recognition of his contributions to physics teaching.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I got a PhD in nuclear physics 50 years ago, but did not work in the field during the intervening time. A year ago I decided to catch up as much as I can to at least learn what has happened in nuclear and particle physics while I was away. A modern text on these topics recommended this introductory nuclear physics book. I have not been disappointed.

⭐If the teacher wouldn’t have shown a conspiracy video about CERN in the class (implying she had no clue what she was doing) it might have made a great book.

⭐Just finished a nuclear physics course where we used Krane and got to chapter 11. Overall it is a very good book and detailed. My biggest problem was with answering some of the questions because often for the rate that the course was going, I would spend to much time trying to determine what the question was asking or wanting. I also dislike that there is no way to check any of your answers other than through your professor. However, great book for the most part, very detailed if not to detailed at some point. It even gives a little quick review of the history in each chapter.

⭐Pretty good conditions

⭐Amazon surprised me when I found this book new for over half of what a used one cost at the campus book store. This book has been in use since the 1980’s, and as such I didn’t expect to find a new one at such a great cost.Thank you Amazon for helping me to stretch my child’s education dollars!!!!

⭐This text was exactly as described. This text is used in many universities in North America. I had an course outline for the course the material covered and the text appeared to cover all learning objectives by looking at the table of contents. Unfortunately my class was cancelled due to lack of participants at enrollment.

⭐This book does a great job explaining things so you don’t get overwhelmed with equations. A few details are left out, which can be a little confusing, but overall a great book!

⭐Required for class and it has a good amount of information we cover as well as enough extra for those who learn better on their own.

⭐* PhysicalThis book has 845 pages upon excellent quality paper. The graphs help in explaining concept and ideas. My book was printed in 1988.* A- level / H.N.D, Undergraduate, postgraduate?This book is pushing a high level undergraduate and postgraduate level course in ‘Physics’ degree.* The contents(1) Basic Concepts, (2) Elements of Quantum Mechanics, (3) Nuclear Properties, (4) The force between Nucleons, (5) Nuclear Models, (6) Radioactive Decay. (7) Detecting Nuclear Radiations, (8) Alpha Decay, (9) Beta Decay, (10) Gamma Decay, (11) Nuclear Reactions, (12) Neutron Physics, (13) Nuclear Fission, (14) Nuclear Fusion, (15) Accelerators, (16) Nuclear Spin, (17) Meson Physics, (18) Particle Physics, (19) Nuclear Astrophysics, (20) Applications of Nuclear Physics, Appendix A, Special Relativity, Appendix B Center of Mass Reference Frame, Appendix C, Table of Nuclear Properties* What’s the best in this book?This book requires a prerequisite pre reading in my opinion. Such as some books on quantum mechanics and another book on nuclear physics.My humble suggestions being ‘QED – The Strange Theory of Light and Matter’ (Penguin Press Science) Paperback – 29 Mar 1990by Richard P Feynman (Author) and ‘Nuclear Physics: Principles and Applications’ (Manchester Physics Series) Paperback – 26 Apr 2001 by John Lilley (Author) and ‘Quantum Mechanics’ (Manchester Physics Series) Paperback – 16 Apr 1992 by Franz Mandl. Also try this too ‘The Particle Odyssey: A Journey to the Heart of Matter’ Hardcover – 25 Jul 2002 by Frank Close (Author), Michael Marten (Author), Christine Sutton (Author)The clarity is there if you’re willing to dig deep. This book is impressive. The way it works it’s as if your rereading the undergraduate book mentioned above but engraved into this rereading course is a much deeper details mathematically and facts. I found personally that chapter 17 and 18 rather too difficult at the moment, but this shows my limitations rather than the scope of the book.* SummaryI bought my edition of this book second – hand from Amazon in a library sale from York University for £25. The prices this book can now retail for is a lot more expensive. Go for a second hand or paperback edition to limit the cost of this book. I became aware of this book when a former Dr. Engineering tutor thought this book would be helpful, but he then of the opinion it would be way too hard for me.

⭐Got this for my introduction to nuclear physics module at university. It has just about everything that was in the course. Can read this from front to back to get a very clear introduction of nuclear physics. Obviously, this is not an advanced book and for higher level modules/courses you will required additional information.

⭐This book is my 2nd choice book for reference. It is laden with graph, tables, equation, detailed explanation. It may get too much from time to time, so i would recommend to try to find another book with a much simpler approach to complement it. This is hard core, not really for self teaching!!

⭐This book is very well written and explains concepts in a way that is easy to understand. It helped me pass my nuclear physics modules

⭐Just as advertised, very good value for money. The content of the book its self outstanding. If your unsure about which nuclear textbook to buy, the answers Krane otherwise known as ‘the nuclear bible’.
