Nuclear and Particle Physics: An Introduction 2nd Edition by Brian R. Martin | (PDF) Free Download

Description

An accessible introduction to nuclear and particle physics with equal coverage of both topics, this text covers all the standard topics in particle and nuclear physics thoroughly and provides a few extras, including chapters on experimental methods; applications of nuclear physics including fission, fusion and biomedical applications; and unsolved problems for the future. It includes basic concepts and theory combined with current and future applications. An excellent resource for physics and astronomy undergraduates in higher-level courses, this text also serves well as a general reference for graduate studies.

Editorial Reviews: About the Author Professor Brian R Martin, formerly of: Department of Physics & Astronomy, University College London, London, UKBrian Marin was an undergraduate at Birmingham University and then moved to University College (1962-1964) to take a PhD in Theoretical Physics. During 1964/65 he was a Ford Foundation Fellow at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, Copenhagen University, and for 1965/66 held a NATO Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Neils Bohr Institute, Copenhagen. He then spent two years (1966-68) as a Research Associate in the Physics Department of Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York, before returning to UCL as a Lecturer. He served as Head of Department from 1993 to 2004.His research interests have been the phenomenology of elementary particle physics, with particular emphasis on analyses using models that incorporate as much firm general physical theory as possible and the extraction of reliable information from data. He has written two books on particle physics, one at graduate level on pion-pion interactions and the other a general introduction to the field for advanced undergraduates.

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

⭐I started using the book for students of nuclear physics and I found that the book helps them quite naturally to go from the nuclear matter up, to some extend, into the particle physic field. It has nice chapters dedicated to clear and practical applications of the experimental part of these subjects, giving also some sense of balance, which is nowadays more needed than ever. People ask on why to expend money on these field withoun noticing the benefits, so the book contributes to shortened the bridge giving to the students extra tools.The final part of the book is also important, it open the window for outstanding issues, of course this part may become obsolete but it a good incentive anyway.

⭐This text was great for individual studies since the full answer key/partial solutions are in the back. The text starts a little heavy and detailed, but has great depth and current information.

⭐Good intro to BOTH fields. It was nice to see the relation between nuc and hep and how they compare.

⭐Love this book. I was studying the topics with booring books, this one offer aracticañ,perspective wich allow me to follow the topics easily. The topic coverage seems to me appropiate.

⭐Great book and written very well. Covers topics in depth and in a manner that any junior or senior physics undergrad student should be able to understand

⭐As a student of astronomy I find this a comprehensive account of required subject matter. It is well set out, includes many intriguing references for follow up.

⭐The e-book version is absolutely terrible. It’s riddled with typos, inconsistencies, factual errors, and incorrect equations. Completely useless for my class. DO NOT BUY THIS E-BOOK.

⭐Very interesting.

⭐This is a very comprehensive look at all aspects of nuclear physics, from kinematic experiments to nuclear decays with a large number of more ‘applied’ examples such as solar fusion and nuclear physics in medicine. This came in very handy for a third year course in nuclear physics, however for postgraduate level I’d recommend something much deeper.

⭐While I believe this is a great book, the Kindle version has just too many typos. Sometimes I have to work quite hard to figure out what the author is trying to say. I can deal with missing units, but using a parameter as a subscripts instead of a parameter to multiply by is a bit more difficult to digest. Important mathematical symbols are missing. I just wish the typesetting was better. Get a hard copy!

⭐A decent introduction on Nuclear and Particle physics for an Undergrad. I liked the sections on experimental/lab topics.

⭐Book in perfect condition.
