The emphasis is on the phenomenological approach to understanding experimental phenomena. The text opens with an introduction to the basic concepts used in nuclear and particle physics and then moves on to describe their respective phenomenologies and experimental methods. Later chapters explore the interpretation of data via models and theories  including the standard model of particle physics and the liquid drop model and shell model of nuclear physics. Several applications of nuclear physics are discussed  including nuclear medicine and the production of power from nuclear fission and fusion. The book closes with a chapter on outstanding problems  including extensions to the standard model  implications for particle astrophysics  improvements in medical imaging and the prospects for power production. Problems are included at the end of each chapter  with a full set of solutions provided. Accessible overview of nuclear and particle physics suitable for a first course in the subject. Chapters are supplemented by an extensive set of problems with full solutions. Includes Appendices on some topics in quantum mechanics and relativistic kinematics. An invaluable text for all physics and astronomy students.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648043016245,"sku":"ByrdShop_0470019999","price":114.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780470019993.jpg?v=1781707515","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/nuclear-and-particle-physics-an-introduction-9780470019993","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
