Nuclear and Particle Physics By W. S. C. Williams (Lecturer , Department of Physics, Fellow and Tutor in Physics,, Lecturer , Department of Physics, Fellow and Tutor in Physics,, St Edmund Hall, University of Oxford)

Summary

The author gives an introduction to the subject in which he encourages the reader to be mindful of the quantative as well as the descriptive aspects of phenomena as the key to verifying physical theories. He starts with basic theory and proceeds to the problems and applications of the science.

Nuclear and Particle Physics Summary

Nuclear and Particle Physics by W. S. C. Williams (Lecturer , Department of Physics, Fellow and Tutor in Physics,, Lecturer , Department of Physics, Fellow and Tutor in Physics,, St Edmund Hall, University of Oxford)

This book deals with nuclear and particle physics at an introductory level, giving an up-to-date description of nuclear and particle physics at a level suitable for undergraduates. Since the primary test of a physical theory is by examining its ability to make correct quantitative predictions, the reader is encouraged, whenever possible, to appreciate the quantitative aspect of a phenomenon in addition to learning a descriptive explanation.

Nuclear and Particle Physics Reviews

.... this is an attractive, interesting, and informative account of an important and challenging area of physics... it is pitched at a level which should make it quite readily accessible to its intended student audience. * Times Higher Education Supplement *
This is a working textbook, which unlike many others, covers both the physics of nuclei and of elementary particles. It is attractively produced, with many diagrams and photos. * Contemporary Physics *
