Theoriginalchaptersondeepinelasticscatteringwereformulatedin1993. Since this time a large amount of new experimental data have been obtained at the Electron-Proton Collider HERA at DESY in Hamburg. In summer of 2007 the Collider was turned o?. The chapters 7 and 8 were partially rewritten as to include the most spectacular new results on deep inelastic scattering. I would like to thank Tina Pollmann for preparing the ?gures and Jurgen ¨ Sawinski for the formatting of the Sixth Edition. Heidelberg, February 2008 Bogdan Povh Preface to the Fourth and the Fifth Edition In the last two editions we included new results on the neutrino oscillations as evidence for a non-vanishing mass of the neutrinos. In the present edition we have rewritten the chapter on Phenomenology oftheWeakInteraction(Chapter10)inordertogiveacoherentpresentation oftheneutrinoproperties.Furthermore,weextendedthechapteronNuclear Thermodynamics (Chapter 19). Heidelberg, July 2006 Bogdan Povh Preface to the First Edition The aim of Particles and Nuclei is to give a uni?ed description of nuclear and particle physics because the experiments which have uncovered thesubstructureofatomicnucleiandnucleonsareconceptuallysimilar.With theprogressofexperimentalandtheoreticalmethods,atoms,nuclei,nucleons, and ?nally quarks have been analysed during the course of this century. The intuitive assumption that our world is composed of a few constituents an idea which seems attractive, but could not be taken for granted appears to be con?rmed. Moreover, the interactions between these constituents of matter can be formulated elegantly, and are well understood conceptionally, within the so-called standard model. Once we have arrived at this underlying theory we are immediately facedwiththequestionofhowthecomplexstructuresaroundusareproducedbyit.

Klappentext

To cope with modern developments, especially in nuclear physics research, this textbook presents nuclear and particle physics from a unifying point of view. The first part, Analysis, is devoted to disentangling the substructure of matter. The second part, Synthesis, shows how the elementary particles may be combined to build hadrons and nuclei. A section on neutrino oscillations and one on nuclear matter at high temperatures bridge the field of "nuclear and particle physics" and "modern astrophysics and cosmology". New developments are also covered. This concise text has become a standard reference for advanced and undergraduate courses.
