Updated and expanded edition of this well-known Physics textbook
provides an excellent Undergraduate introduction to the field This
new edition of Nuclear and Particle Physics continues the standards
established by its predecessors, offering a comprehensive and
highly readable overview of both the theoretical and experimental
areas of these fields. The updated and expanded text covers a very
wide range of topics in particle and nuclear physics, with an
emphasis on the phenomenological approach to understanding
experimental data. It is one of the few publications currently
available that gives equal treatment to both fields, while
remaining accessible to undergraduates. Early chapters cover basic
concepts of nuclear and particle physics, before describing their
respective phenomenologies and experimental methods. Later chapters
interpret data through models and theories, such as the standard
model of particle physics, and the liquid drop and shell models of
nuclear physics, and also discuss many applications of both fields.
The concluding two chapters deal with practical applications and
outstanding issues, including extensions to the standard model,
implications for particle astrophysics, improvements in medical
imaging, and prospects for power production. There are a number of
useful appendices. Other notable features include: New or expanded
coverage of developments in relevant fields, such as the discovery
of the Higgs boson, recent results in neutrino physics, research to
test theories beyond the standard model (such as supersymmetry),
and important technical advances, such as Penning traps used for
high-precision measurements of nuclear masses. Practice problems at
the end of chapters (excluding the last chapter) with solutions to
selected problems provided in an appendix, as well as an extensive
list of references for further reading. Companion website with
solutions (odd-numbered problems for students, all problems for
instructors), PowerPoint lecture slides, and other resources. As
with previous editions, the balanced coverage and additional
resources provided, makes Nuclear and Particle Physics an excellent
foundation for advanced undergraduate courses, or a valuable
general reference text for early graduate studies.
