Nuclear physics (original) (raw)

Nuclear physics is that branch of physics concerned with the nucleus of the atom. Topics include:

• Strong interaction
• Radioactivity
• Models of the nucleus
  • liquid drop model
  • shell model
  • interacting boson model
• Fission
• Fusion

Applications

• Nuclear magnetic resonance
• M�ssbauer effect
• Nuclear power
• Nuclear weapons
• SEE ALSO: Nuclear engineering

Nuclear, particle, and quantum physics are all used very close to interchangeably by some, so be darn careful if you put anything here.
