The original edition of Introduction to Nuclear and Particle
Physics was used with great success for single-semester courses on
nuclear and particle physics offered by American and Canadian
universities at the undergraduate level. It was also translated
into German, and used overseas. Being less formal but well-written,
this book is a good vehicle for learning the more intuitive rather
than formal aspects of the subject. It is therefore of value to
scientists with a minimal background in quantum mechanics, but is
sufficiently substantive to have been recommended for graduate
students interested in the fields covered in the text.In the second
edition, the material begins with an exceptionally clear
development of Rutherford scattering and, in the four following
chapters, discusses sundry phenomenological issues concerning
nuclear properties and structure, and general applications of
radioactivity and of the nuclear force. This is followed by two
chapters dealing with interactions of particles in matter, and how
these characteristics are used to detect and identify such
particles. A chapter on accelerators rounds out the experimental
aspects of the field. The final seven chapters deal with
elementary-particle phenomena, both before and after the
realization of the Standard Model. This is interspersed with
discussion of symmetries in classical physics and in the quantum
domain, bringing into full focus the issues concerning CP
violation, isotopic spin, and other symmetries. The final three
chapters are devoted to the Standard Model and to possibly new
physics beyond it, emphasizing unification of forces,
supersymmetry, and other exciting areas of current research.The
book contains several appendices on related subjects, such as
special relativity, the nature of symmetry groups, etc. There are
also many examples and problems in the text that are of value in
gauging the reader's understanding of the material.
