An Introduction to the Physics of Nuclei and Particles

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Timely and engaging, AN INTRODUCTION TO THE PHYSICS OF NUCLEI AND PARTICLES focuses on one of the most exciting areas of physics. Author Richard Dunlap has taught this course for the last ten years?during the last two of which he used this text successfully in his own classroom. The author designed this text to provide flexibility and freedom for instructors teaching a one-semester course by including a wealth of problems as well as approximately 20% more material than is necessary for the average 14-week course. In order to ensure that the book is up-to-date and interesting for the students, the author has included recent research results whenever possible and has presented data from ongoing experiments. This is particularly relevant for fields in which there is considerable current research activity, such as neutrino masses and oscillations, quark masses and controlled fusion.

About the Author
Richard A. Dunlap received a B.S. from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (1974), an A.M. from Dartmouth College (1976) and a Ph.D. from Clark University (1981). Since 1980 he has been at Dalhousie University where he is currently the Faculty of Science Killam Professor of Physics. Rich's research interests are in the fields of experimental solid-state physics and materials science. In recent years he has utilized Mössbauer effect spectroscopy and positron annihilation techniques for the investigation of the physical properties of disordered and nanostructured materials. He has published about 200 research papers and is the author of EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS: MODERN METHODS (Oxford University Press, 1988) and THE GOLDEN RATIO AND FIBONACCI NUMBERS (World Scientific Publishing, 1997).
