Titre : | Nuclei and particles : an introduction to nuclear and subnuclear physics | Type de document : | Livres, articles, périodiques | Auteurs : | Emilio Segrè (1905-1989), Auteur | Mention d'édition : | 2nd edition, completely revised, reset, enlarged | Editeur : | Reading, Mass. : W. A. Benjamin | Année de publication : | 1980 | Importance : | xx-966 p. | Présentation : | illustrations, couverture illustrée | Format : | 24 cm | ISBN/ISSN/EAN : | 978-0-8053-8601-1 | Mots-clés : | Physique nucléaire Atomes -- Noyaux Noyaux atomiques Nucléonique Physique subatomique Particules (physique nucléaire) Nuclear physics Particles | Index. décimale : | 539 Nature physique de la matière | Résumé : | This book is addressed to physics students, chemists, and engineers who want to acquire enough knowledge of nuclear and subnuclear physics to be able to work in this field. The book is definitely an introduction. The coverage is rather broad, but the treatment has been kept as simple as possible, compatible with a professional understanding of the subject.
The second edition preserves the goals, level, and spirit of the first. In the last decade nuclear and particle physics have become increasingly technical, and both theory and experiment have grown more complicated. This is an unavoidable trend that tends to increase the gap between textbooks and original research literature in the journals, which often is intelligible to only a very restricted circle of initiates. However, the student should somehow be given a glimpse of what the specialists are doing before joining them and should acquire an idea of the forest before concentrating on the tree. One of the aims of this book is to convey such a general, but not superficial, view of the subject |
