This clear and concise introduction to nuclear physics provides an excellent basis for a `core' undergraduate course in this area. The book opens by setting nuclear physics in the context of elementary particle physics and then shows how simple models can provide an understanding of the properties of nuclei, both in their ground states and excited states, and also of the nature of nuclear reactions. The book includes chapters on nuclear ®ssion, its application in nuclear power reactors, and the role of nuclear physics in energy production and nucleosynthesis in stars.
