Synopsis: This book deals with nuclear and particle physics at an introductory level, giving an up-to-date description of nuclear and particle physics at a level suitable for undergraduates. A unique balance of particle and nuclear physics is presented in this outstanding introduction to the field. Nuclear properties, decay, structure and reactions are covered initially, followed by discussions of nuclear forces, B-decay, and elementary particles and their interactions. Further chapters include strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions, and an up-to-date presentation of the problems facing particle physics. Since the primary test of a physical theory is by examining its ability to make correct quantitative predictions, the reader is encouraged, whenever possible, to appreciate the quantitative aspect of a phenomenon in addition to learning a descriptive explanation.
