Particles and Nuclei


Book Description

To cope with modern developments, especially in nuclear physics research, this textbook presents nuclear and particle physics from a unifying point of view. The first part, Analysis, is devoted to disentangling the substructure of matter. The second part, Synthesis, shows how the elementary particles may be combined to build hadrons and nuclei. A section on neutrino oscillations and one on nuclear matter at high temperatures bridge the field of "nuclear and particle physics" and "modern astrophysics and cosmology". New developments are also covered. This concise text has become a standard reference for advanced and undergraduate courses.




Particles and Nuclei


Book Description

The fourth edition includes new developments, in particular a new section on the double beta decay including a discussion of the possibility of a neutrinoless decay and its implications for the standard model.

Physics of Particles, Nuclei and Materials


Book Description

Presents latest developments in the fields of high, intermediate and low energy physics as well as in molecular and solid materials. With a detailed introduction, the subject matter is reviewed to its latest status, such as: High energy physics _ empirical approach systematizing the information on masses & spins etc, fundamental theories of antimatter, quarks & neutrino mass Intermediate energy _ hot and dense nuclear matter Low energy physics _ nuclear mass formula, "halo" structure of light, cold nuclear phenomena (i.e., cold fission) Solid materials _ carbon clusters, semiconductors and phenomenon of atomic diffusion in solids Illustrating both present and future possibilities of new electrochromic materials and devices along with advances in Physics of molecular fluids and molecular materials in cosmic objects.
