Ours is an age of incredible breakthrough in science and technology. Man has blazed a trail into outer space, built 'thinking machines' and made a giant progress, but yet he is not fully aware of what exactly is inside the atom. The nucleus, however remains somewhat a riddle. How are the nucleons packed within a tiny nucleus? What is the nature of nuclear force? How can the nucleus be smashed open and harness the tremendous energy it yields? The master theorists and experimenters have designed and built huge machines called accelerators to probe into the nucleus and solve nuclear mysteries. Particle science has gained prominence and has emerged as most exciting field of research.
