| Abstract

:
|
This book evolved from a course in theoretical nuclear physics taught over seven years at the University of Gent and is thus well suited to and tested for lecture courses. The nuclear shell model is introduced from basic techniques such as angular momentum and tensor algebra. The material is developed from the beginning up to the present state-of-the-art calculations using self-consistent residual interactions. Problem sets and simple computer codes are included to facilitate a better acquaintance with the subject. The appendices constitute an integral part of the text going into depth on a number of technical derivations to provide the reader with a detailed background facilitating active research. The book introduces the subject to advanced undergraduate and to graduate students providing them with knowledge and techniques for own research in this field. It is a highly useful prerequisite for lecturers teaching modern nuclear physics.
