Description: Foundations of Nuclear and Particle Physics This textbook brings together nuclear and particle physics, balancing theoretical and experimental perspectives for graduates and upper undergraduates. T. William Donnelly (Author), Joseph A. Formaggio (Author), Barry R. Holstein (Author), Richard G. Milner (Author), Bernd Surrow (Author) 9780521765114, Cambridge University Press Hardback, published 1 February 2017 658 pages 25.5 x 19.5 x 3.2 cm, 1.58 kg 'A timely and important addition to the collection of texts available to lecturers and practitioners in a broad area of scientific research … The book fills an important role in the current research landscape. The text will be particularly interesting to students and postdoctoral researchers active in research fields that bridge nuclear, particle, and astro-physics … All of these topics are addressed in this new book, providing an excellent single source of information and starting points for researchers … the material is well organized, and the theoretical foundations provided at the start of the different sections are well written and easy to follow.' Allen Caldwell, Nuclear Physics News This textbook brings together nuclear and particle physics, presenting a balanced overview of both fields as well as the interplay between the two. The theoretical as well as the experimental foundations are covered, providing students with a deep understanding of the subject. In-chapter exercises ranging from basic experimental to sophisticated theoretical questions provide an important tool for students to solidify their knowledge. Suitable for upper undergraduate courses in nuclear and particle physics as well as more advanced courses, the book includes road maps guiding instructors on tailoring the content to their course. Online resources including color figures, tables, and a solutions manual complete the teaching package. This textbook will be essential for students preparing for further study or a career in the field who require a solid grasp of both nuclear and particle physics. 1. Introduction 2. Symmetries 3.
