The Nuclear Shell Model

The Nuclear Shell Model evolved from a course on theoretical nuclear physics taught at the university of Gent. The theory is developed from tensor algebra of the angular momentum, the independent-particle model, and the state of the art of self-consistent calculations. No less than 100 problems, worked examples throughout the text, and a MS-DOS diskette including simple FORTRAN programs of numerical applications allow the student to become familiar with the methods in this field.
