W. S. C. Williams
This book deals with nuclear and particle physics at an introductory level, giving an up-to-date description of nuclear and particle physics at a level suitable for undergraduates. Since the primary test of a physical theory is by examining its ability to make correct quantitative predictions,
the reader is encouraged, whenever possible, to appreciate the quantitative aspect of a phenomenon in addition to learning a descriptive explanation.
Introduction; Some quantitative formalities; The size and shape of nuclei; The mass of nuclei; Nuclear instability; Alpha decay; Nuclear collisions and reactions; Nuclear models; Forces and interactions; Hadrons and Quark-Parton model; The electromagnetic interaction; The weak interactions;
Particles: Summary and outlook; Nuclear and particle astrophysics
