Download Unravelling the Mystery of the Atomic Nucleus: A Sixty Year by Bernard Fernandez,Georges Ripka PDF

By Bernard Fernandez,Georges Ripka

Unravelling the secret of the Atomic Nucleus is a historical past of atomic and nuclear physics. It starts in 1896 with the invention of radioactivity, which results in the invention of the nucleus on the middle of the atom. It follows the experimental discoveries and the theoretical advancements as much as the top of the Fifties.

Unlike earlier books relating to on background of nuclear physics, this publication methodically describes how advances in know-how enabled physicists to probe the actual houses of nuclei in addition to how the actual legislation which govern those microscopic platforms have been steadily came upon. The reader will achieve a transparent figuring out of the way concept is inextricably intertwined with the growth of know-how.

Unravelling the secret of the Atomic Nucleus should be of curiosity to physicists and to historians of physics, in addition to these improvement of science.
