Produktbeschreibung

To cope with modern developments, especially in nuclear physics research, this textbook presents nuclear and particle physics from a unifying point of view. This concise text has become a standard reference for advanced and undergraduate courses, and the fifth edition has been extensively revised and updated. The first part, Analysis, is devoted to disentangling the substructure of matter. The second part, Synthesis, shows how the elementary particles may be combined to build hadrons and nuclei. A section on neutrino oscillations and one on nuclear matter at high temperatures bridge the field of "nuclear and particle physics" and "modern astrophysics and cosmology". New developments are also covered, e.g. in sections on the double beta decay including a discussion of the possibility of a neutrinoless decay and its implications for the standard model.

Rezensionen

"The book 'Particles and Nuclei' represents a collection of fundamental topics in nuclear and particle physics and is divided in two parts. ... This book presents itself as an easy going lecture for students taking a course in nuclear and particle physics but it can be ... used as a handbook by specialists in the field."
