Annotated Bibliography

-------

You may well find the following references helpful. Items marked by an * have been placed on reserve in the Chem-Phys Library.

*Preston & Bhaduri, Structure of the Nucleus.

*Holstein, Weak Interactions in Nuclei.

*Commins & Bucksbaum, Weak Interactions of Lepton and Quarks.

*deShalit & Feshbach, Theoretical Nuclear Physics, v. I & II.
A classic text. V. I is particularly good for theoretical topics given cursory treatment in Preston & Bhadhuri.

*Blatt & Weisskopf, Theoretical Nuclear Physics.
Another classic.

*Bohr & Mottleson, Nuclear Structure, v. I & II.
Another classic.

S.S.M. Wong, Introductory Nuclear Physics.
A more "progressive" survey of nuclear physics than that offered by Preston & Bhadhuri, so that the quark model, etc. is included. The latter topics are treated in P630.

J. D. Walecka, Theoretical Nuclear and Subnuclear Physics.
Comprehensive in scope; treats many of the topics to be covered here.

F. Halzen and A.D. Martin, Quarks & Leptons: An Introductory Course in Modern Particle Physics.
An introductory book offering supplementary background to the treatments of Holstein and Commins and Bucksbaum.

*J.R. Taylor, Scattering Theory.
A very useful introductory book.

A.G. Sitenko, Scattering Theory.
Treats three-particle scattering in the Faddeev approach.

A.L. Fetter and J.D. Walecka, Quantum Theory of Many-Particle Systems.
The classic text in the theory of many-body systems.

J. Negele and H. Orland, Quantum Many-Particle Systems.
Many-body theory from a functional integral formulation. Interesting for its discussions of order parameters and broken symmetries as well as of stochastic methods.
