This is the third and fully updated edition of the classic textbook on physics at the subatomic level. An up-to-date and lucid introduction to both particle and nuclear physics, the book is suitable for both experimental and theoretical physics students at the senior undergraduate and beginning graduate levels.

Topics are introduced with key experiments and their background, encouraging students to think and empowering them with the capability of doing back-of-the-envelope calculations in a diversity of situations. Earlier important experiments and concepts as well as topics of current interest are covered, with extensive use of photographs and figures to convey principal concepts and show experimental data.

The coverage includes new material on:

Detectors and accelerators Nucleon elastic form factor data Neutrinos, their masses and oscillations Chiral theories and effective field theories, and lattice QCD Relativistic heavy ions (RHIC) Nuclear structure far from the region of stability Particle astrophysics and cosmology Contents: Background and Language Tools: Accelerators Passage of Radiation Through Matter Detectors Particles and Nuclei: The Subatomic Zoo Structure of Subatomic Particles Symmetries and Conservation Laws: Additive Conservation Laws Angular Momentum and Isospin P, C, CP, and T Interactions: The Electromagnetic Interaction The Weak Interaction Introduction to Gauge Theories The Electroweak Theory of the Standard Model Strong Interactions Models: Quark Models of Mesons and Baryons Liquid Drop Model, Fermi Gas Model, Heavy Ions The Shell Model Collective Model Nuclear and Particle Astrophysics

Readership: Senior undergraduate students, beginning graduate students, and advanced engineering students. Key Features: A revised third edition of a classic textbook that includes the latest theoretical developments and most recent experimental results Emphasizes the development of students' skills in understanding a broad range of ideas Includes extensive problems at the end of each chapter Keywords: Standard Model of Particle Physics; Nuclear Physics; Symmetries; Conservation Laws; Quarks; Neutrinos; Astrophysics
