Books I Use For Research in Theoretical Nuclear Physics

In this video I go over the books I find myself commonly referencing while doing my research in theoretical nuclear/particle physics.

How crazy would it be if you became a patreon supporter xD omg are you really doing this:

10th! So glad you’re feeling better Andrew. ~Love Mom 💕

Fun fact: I (along with others) helped edit the Schwartz book (QFT and Standard Model) which was converted from a set of lecture notes from a class that Schwartz taught (for which I was a TA at one point). Though I played no role in the writing (I only checked all the equations and gave minor feedback), I always feel proud when people speak highly of the book. I'm glad you enjoyed it Andrew.

"Writing the textbook is trivial and left as an exercise to the reader"

[anthonyburley]

I love how he said “if that doesn’t make sense to you...” and then re-explained something that still did not make sense to me.

Schwartz is really good! It's the only QFT book I could find that starts without the expectation that you've seen anything in QFT before.

Am I a physics researcher? Absolutely not. Will I still be taking notes on what books he uses? Absolutely

*me not understanding a single thing he's said at any point in the video*
"Ah yes, these are good books, I should get them"

[MrCaptainFrosty]

"small stack" books be thicker than a bowl of oatmeal

[pittiti]

Hey man just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you, for sharing your journey in physics. Which inspired me to change my major from aerospace engineering to physics. stay the way you are and keep your stuff up, greetings from germany :)

Note that there's a nice Wikipedia page called Common Integrals In Quantum Field Theory.
I also did a book preview video my books for 2021, last week.
It will be a reading year for sure, giving how we're still staying at home.

[Smapiecus]

Glad you're no longer dying :)
Thanks for the interesting, informative vid even though I probably won't need these books for another 2+ years

[matrixus]

3:05 I hope that Papa Flammy will derive these on his improvised session <33

"It's got a nice appendix." Smooth.

*Andrew, * you should invent your own "fundamental transformation" to bypass those obfuscated diagrams and infinities. The _Dotson's duality principle_ would make a nice Nobel acceptance speech.

[RCSmiths]

Hey man, it's so important to find the books and resources! Great work!

Hey hi man, I am studying Physics in college and I really like your videos. Keep up the good work and stay healthy.

If Physics for Dummies isn't on here, I'm going to be really scared for my promising career as a nuclear physicist

[somsuvragupta]

Hey I'm a undergrad student. Mostly I find the terminologies Greek-Latin for me. But I enjoy these videos to the fullest.

[meisterproper]

as a math/compsci student, hearing physicists talk about integration (in 4-\eps dimensions? taking \eps=0? WHAT) is the perfect mixture of bewildering and entertaining :D
