Nuclear and Particle Physics: Engelska 2020

This book is intended primarily for BSc Honours and General students pursuing Physics in various Indian universities. It provides complete and comprehensive coverage of Nuclear and Particle Physics as specified by the new Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS) syllabus. Topics include the properties of nuclei, different nuclear models, radioactive decay, nuclear reactions, interaction of radiation with matter, nuclear astrophysics, particle physics and particle accelerators. While there is strong emphasis on following an exam-oriented approach, equal importance has been given to ensure that students have a thorough grasp of the subject and are actively engaged in the learning process. Salient Features Includes the fundamentals of many advanced topics (useful for undergraduates) such as intrinsic parity, parity violation in weak interaction, and non-relativistic and relativistic nuclear collisions Contains more than 180 illustrative examples with step-by-step solutions at the end of each topic for easy assimilation of the concepts learnt Incorporates different types of problems solved, with hints, assignments to assess comprehension, plotting of graphs using GNUPLOT that may help readers develop an overall understanding of the subject while preparing for university examinations Provides more than 270 review questions, including 100 MCQs, to help students excel in competitive examinations such as NET and GATE Online resources are available at www.universitiespress.com/nuclearandparticlephysics For Teachers: Solutions manual and chapter-wise PowerPoint slides
