This compact treatment of the basic theory of nuclear forces, structures, and reactions bases its explanations almost entirely on the familiar results of nonrelativistic quantum theory. Suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, it presents careful and concise discussions of experimental ideas. 28 illustrations. 1956 edition. Unabridged republication of the second edition published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1967.
Theoretical Physics by Georg Joos, Ira M. Freeman Classic treatise covers mathematical topics needed by theoretical and experimental physicists (vector analysis, calculus of variations, etc.), followed by coverage of mechanics, electromagnetic theory, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and nuclear physics.
Atomic Physics: 8th Edition by Max Born Nobel Laureate's lucid treatment of kinetic theory of gases, elementary particles, nuclear atom, wave-corpuscles, atomic structure and spectral lines, much more. Over 40 appendices, bibliography.
Weak Interactions and Modern Particle Theory by Howard Georgi This high-level, rigorous, and technical treatment was written by a distinguished teacher and researcher. Equally valuable as a text for advanced undergraduates and graduate students and as a reference for professionals. 1984 edition.
Quantum Mechanics of One- and Two-Electron Atoms by Hans A. Bethe, Edwin E. Salpeter This classic of modern physics includes a vast array of approximation methods, mathematical tricks, and physical pictures useful in the application of quantum mechanics to other fields. 1977 edition.
