This is the third and fully updated edition of a classic textbook, which provides an up-to-date and lucid introduction to both particle and nuclear physics. Topics are introduced with key experiments and their background, encouraging students to think and allow them to do back-of-the-envelope calculations in a diversity of situations. Suitable for experimental and theoretical physics students at the senior undergraduate and beginning graduate levels, the book covers earlier important experiments and concepts as well as topics of current interest, with extensive use of photographs and figures to convey concepts and experimental data.
