Nuclear and Particle Physics

By Brian R. Martin and Brian R Martin

Book Overview

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.

A very good beginners text with problems and answers

This kind of text is very good for beginning students and as reference. There are nice diagrams of new machines, mentions of breaks in the standard model and neutrino mass. The Klein-Gordon equation is given in it's native dimensional units of 1/ length^2 which is better than in many texts that I have that use more artificial units in Messiah, Weinberg and Gordon Kane. The text lacks a necessary approach to quantum groups or I would have given it 5 stars.
