PARTICLES AND NUCLEI - BOGDAN POVH KLAUS RITH C...

This well-known introductory textbook gives a uniform presentation of nuclear and particle
physics from an experimental point of view. The first part  Analysis  is devoted to
disentangling the substructure of matter. This part shows that experiments designed to uncover
the substructures of nuclei and nucleons have a similar conceptual basis  and lead to the
present picture of all matter being constructed from a small number of elementary building
blocks and a small number of fundamental interactions.The second part  Synthesis  shows how the
elementary particles may be combined to build hadrons and nuclei. The fundamental interactions
which are responsible for the forces in all systems  become less and less evident in
increasingly complex systems. Such systems are in fact dominated by many-body phenomena. A
section on neutrino oscillations and one on nuclear matter at high temperatures bridge the
field of nuclear and particle physics and modem astrophysics and cosmology.The seventh revised
and extended edition includes new material  in particular the experimental verification of the
Higgs particle at the LHC  recent results in neutrino physics  the violation of CP-symmetry in
the decay of neutral B-mesons  the experimental investigations of the nucleon's spin structure
and outstanding results of the HERA experiments in deep-inelastic electron- and positron-proton
scattering. The concise text is based on lectures held at the University of Heidelberg and
includes numerous exercises with worked answers. It has been translated into several languages
and has become a standard reference for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses.
