221b Lecture Notes Many-Body Problems IV. Nuclear Physics 1 Nuclei Nuclei sit at the center of any atoms. Therefore, understanding them is of central importance to any discussions of microscopic physics. Due to some reason, however, the nuclear physics had not been taught so much in the standard physics curriculum. I try to briefly review nuclear physics in a few lectures. Obviously I can't go into much details, but hope to give you at least a rough idea on nuclear physics. As you know, nuclei are composed of protons and neutrons. The number of protons is the atomic number Z, and the mass number A is approximately the total number of nucleons, a collective name for protons and neutrons.
