Beschreibung:
This book covers the major points of basic theory and experimental methods of nuclear physics, emphasizing the behavior of real systems. Using many examples, it also illustrates the extraordinary possibilities offered by nuclear methods. The book covers the Mossbauer effect, slow neutron physics, radiography, nuclear geochronology, and various othe
