Introduction to Nuclear and Particle Physics: 2nd Edition by A Das | (PDF) Free Download

Description

The original edition of Introduction to Nuclear and Particle Physics was used with great success for single-semester courses on nuclear and particle physics offered by American and Canadian universities at the undergraduate level. It was also translated into German, and used overseas. Being less formal but well-written, this book is a good vehicle for learning the more intuitive rather than formal aspects of the subject. It is therefore of value to scientists with a minimal background in quantum mechanics, but is sufficiently substantive to have been recommended for graduate students interested in the fields covered in the text.In the second edition, the material begins with an exceptionally clear development of Rutherford scattering and, in the four following chapters, discusses sundry phenomenological issues concerning nuclear properties and structure, and general applications of radioactivity and of the nuclear force. This is followed by two chapters dealing with interactions of particles in matter, and how these characteristics are used to detect and identify such particles. A chapter on accelerators rounds out the experimental aspects of the field. The final seven chapters deal with elementary-particle phenomena, both before and after the realization of the Standard Model. This is interspersed with discussion of symmetries in classical physics and in the quantum domain, bringing into full focus the issues concerning CP violation, isotopic spin, and other symmetries. The final three chapters are devoted to the Standard Model and to possibly new physics beyond it, emphasizing unification of forces, supersymmetry, and other exciting areas of current research.The book contains several appendices on related subjects, such as special relativity, the nature of symmetry groups, etc. There are also many examples and problems in the text that are of value in gauging the reader’s understanding of the material.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review .,.” provides an introduction to the subject very well suited for the introductory course for physics majors.””The book provides an introduction to the subject very well suited for the introductory course for physics majors. Presentation is very clear and nicely balances the issues of nuclear and particle physics, exposes both theoretical ideas and modern experimental methods. Presentation is also very economic and one can cover most of the book in a one-semester course. In the second edition, the authors updated the contents to reflect the very recent developments in the theory and experiment. They managed to do it without substantial increase of the size of the book. I used the first edition several times to teach the course ‘Introduction to Subatomic Physics’ and I am looking forward to use this new edition to teach the course next year.” From the Publisher Advanced undergraduates and researchers in nuclear and particle physics.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐The actual textbook is very good but lacks examples so sometimes the transition can be difficult for the homework, this manual really helps you find the direction, and is a huge time saver if you are really pressed by everything else. The solutions manual goes into more depth than most do, which is good and bad I guess. It’s good for both kinds of readers, those like myself actually trying to learn the subject, as well as those just looking for answers. I’d recommend to either, though I’m a dreamer and hope people just use it as a guide and not for less admirable purposes.

⭐I used this book for my first 400-level course in junior year. I found right off the bat that it is a bit difficult to adjust to, as it will probably be one of your first books with the CGS unit system. This might cause miscommunication with the author and reader- for example, q*(r)^-2 is the electric field, but it will seem to be missing the constants of nature in front. While this is a well-known example of CGS use, some other formulas have an enigmatic nature because of these features. Also, many topics are covered but quickly given up as enigmatic features because little rigorous derivation takes place. For the most part, it does introduce many new concepts of nuclear and particle physics but with few and ambiguous explanations of the mathematics behind it all.

⭐Its an ok book. There are not enough examples to fully explain the material that the author is trying to convey.

⭐I was most disappointed with this book. Das must have written the nuclear section as it has a certain theoretical twang. Krane’s Introductory Nuclear Physics (a superior text) makes one realize how much Das & Ferbel leave to be desired.

⭐This is one of the most opaque texts I’ve ever encountered. Dense, hard-to-follow, and headscratchingly bizarre: all these are hallmarks of Ashok’s text. Stay away and stick to the gold standard: Griffith’s. You cannot go wrong with his text.

⭐The ad conveniently hides the fact that this is a solutions manual for the author’s text and does not link to the text book. What a rip off.

⭐Testo molto dettagliato sulla fisica nucleare e subnucleare. Nella triennale in fisica può risultare utile per vedere in dettaglio alcune cose, tuttavia risulta indispensabile per uno studio più specifico in una laurea magistrale, necessitando di una buona comprensione della meccanica quantistica. Sicuramente uno dei libri migliori in questa categoriaIl prodotto è arrivato in perfette condizioni, anche se una settimana dopo rispetto a quanto riportato nella descrizione dello stesso.Il libro è arrivato con due giorni di anticipo rispetto a quanto previsto, in perfette condizioni.Davvero un servizio soddisfacente
