"Nuclear & Particle Physics is an introduction to the subject and provides a readable and up-to-date overview of both the theoretical and experimental aspects of nuclear and particle physics, with an emphasis on the phenomenological interpretation of experimental phenomena. Completely revised, this edition incorporates several new and greatly expanded sections." "This is a text for all undergraduate physics and astronomy students taking courses in nuclear and particle physics. The book is also valuable as a general reference for the first years of graduate study."--Jacket.
