Nuclear And Particle Physics Claude Amsler by Claude Amsler instant download after payment.

University of Zurich in Switzerland between 1997 and 2012. It is intended as

an introduction to nuclear and particle physics for undergraduate students at the

bachelor’s and master’s levels. Students who intend to pursue a career in experimental particle physics will also find valuable information in some of the more

advanced sections.

This introduction into the world of nuclei and particles is presented from a historical viewpoint and is phenomenologically oriented. Many of the concepts and

phenomena are derived with inductive rather than deductive thinking, following the

paths that often led to their final formulation. A balanced blend of experiments and

theory is presented. An introduction to the basic concepts of nuclear physics is given

before moving on to topics in particle physics which are developed in more detail.

Many formulas are derived explicitly from first principles. The reader is expected to

master the basic concepts of quantum mechanics.

This textbook was originally published in 2007 in German by vdf Hochschulverlag AG at ETH Zurich. The current version is a translation into English which

has been substantially expanded to include very recent developments in neutrino,

heavy quark and high energy physics.

The author wishes to acknowledge the contributions from his younger physics

colleagues, who carefully read parts of the manuscript: Lucian Ancu, Vincenzo

Chiochia, Konrad Nesteruk, Paola Scampoli, Basil Schneider, Sarah Seif El Nasr

and Mauro Verzetti.
