This second edition of 'An Introduction to the Physics of Nuclei and Particles' is intended as a textbook for a one semester third or fourth year undergraduate course and requires a basic background in quantum mechanics. The text covers the basic properties of nuclei and the models of nuclear structure. It also covers nuclear stability, nuclear decay processes and nuclear reactions. The basic properties of subatomic particles are presented, and the standard model of hadronic structure is covered. The book covers recent developments in both nuclear and particle physics. In the field of nuclear physics, these developments include alpha-clustering models and double beta decay. Recent advances in the development of nuclear fission and fusion reactors are also discussed. In the area of particle physics, the recent discovery of the Higgs boson and advancements in our knowledge of neutrino masses and oscillations are presented. Key Features An introductory level text appropriate for undergraduate students with a previous quantum mechanics course Provides detailed coverage of traditional nuclear properties and models Offers an up-to-date summary of the development of fission and fusion reactors for power generation Covers recent developments in the quark model of hadrons and the Higgs boson Provides a summary of recent results of neutrino properties Solutions manual available to instructors.
