Synopsis

This text is written on two levels. Part 1 presents a brief summary of the topics normally appearing in undergraduate courses in nuclear structure physics. Much of this may have been studied on A-level courses and as such the emphasis is on simplicity. In contrast, Part 2 attempts to explore the fundamental symmetries of nature in detail, and this requires the presentation of an adequate theoretical background. In view of this emphasis on theory in Part 2, the necessary description of particle detextion and accleration techniques used in high-energy physics is included briefly in Part 1. The development contained in the second part of this book is therefore more appropriate for experienced undergraduates or postgraduate studies.

About this title

Book Description

Nuclear and Particle Physics has been endorsed by OCR for use with the OCR Physics specification A. It provides full coverage of the Physics option module of the same name. In combination with other books in the series it provides full coverage of the Advanced Level specifications. Learning objectives are clearly defined, so that students know exactly what they need to learn. Self-assessment questions (with answers) and exam-style end-of-chapter exercises offer excellent opportunities for independent study. Chapter introductions and summaries provide the basis for structured revision. Full-colour illustration and student-friendly design make the science accessible to all.
