Description
This book is intended to give a clear and concise introductory account of the basic ideas underlying nuclear and elementary particle physics. The attempt throughout is to convey a sound physical understanding of the structures and processes encountered. It assumes some knowledge of elementary quantum mechanics, particularly the treatment of angular momentum, and the rudiments of special relativity. In addition to ‘standard’ calculations based on this knowledge, frequent use is made of ‘order-of-magnitude’ and ‘dimensional’ arguments. In this way it has been possible to give some discussion of quite advanced topics and recent developments. Although reference is made from time to time to the apparatus of nuclear and particle physics no technical detail is given. My basic hope is that students using this book will acquire a sound understand ing of what nuclear and particle physics is about and will wish to learn more. I am indebted to Dr David Bailin and various (nameless) referees for penetrating and helpful comments on parts of the text.
User’s Reviews
Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:
⭐Too bad this book seems to be out of print. I found it to be an excellent introduction to nuclear and particle physics. Although the book does not go into technical details, it does not sweep things under the carpet. It is very clearly written and conveys the material exceptionally well. In contrast to other reference works on the topic, which are usually monumental works, this book succeeds in giving a real flavor of the subject in just over 200 pages. I absolutely recommend it as a worthy introduction to these topics.
