Now a standard reference for many undergraduate and more advanced courses, this book is a uniform presentation of nuclear and particle physics split into “Analysis” and “Synthesis” sections. “Analysis” looks at disentangling the substructure of matter, while “Synthesis” shows how the elementary building blocks combine to form hadrons and nuclei. This fourth edition has some new developments, such as double beta decay.
