This graduate/research level book describes our present knowledge
of protons and neutrons, the particles which make up the nucleus of
the atom. Experiments using high energy electrons, muons and
neutrinos reveal the proton as being made up of point-like
constituents, quarks. The strong forces which bind the quarks
together are described in terms of the modern theory of quantum
chromodynamics (QCD), the 'glue' binding the quarks being mediated
by new constituents called gluons. Larger and new particle
accelerators probe the interactions between quarks and gluons at
shorter distances. The understanding of this detailed substructure
and of the fundamental forces responsible is one of the keys to
unravelling the physics of the structure of matter. This book will
be of interest to all theoretical and experimental particle
physicists.
