Description
Nuclear and particle physics provides a basis for the study of the structures of atomic nuclei and the relationship and interactions of their particles, especially in the generation of nuclear energy. This well-received book, now in its Fourth Edition, continues to provide an introduction to the subject in a comprehensive manner. It discusses in detail the principles and applications of nuclear and particle physics explaining the latest developments. The text provides the fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics, electricity, magnetism and modern physics.
NEW TO THE FOURTH EDITION - Thoroughly revised section on the neutron activation analysis, scintillation and HPGe detectors
Includes a list of accelerators
- Incorporates several new solved and unsolved problems.
