Nuclear and Particle Physics

Nuclear and Particle Physics explores fundamental building blocks of matter and forces governing their interactions. The book begins with nuclear structure and decay processes before progressing to particle physics and standard model. Practical applications in medical imaging, cancer therapy, nuclear energy, and particle detection are emphasized. Content covers nuclear properties, radioactivity, nuclear reactions, and elementary particles systematically. Readers examine quarks, leptons, gauge bosons, and fundamental interactions including strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces. Key topics include particle accelerators, detectors, conservation laws, and symmetries. The text addresses quantum chromodynamics, electroweak theory, and Higgs mechanism. Through comprehensive treatment bridging nuclear and particle physics, the material develops understanding of matter at fundamental scales. This essential resource serves undergraduate physics students and researchers in nuclear and particle physics. The book provides rigorous theoretical foundations alongside experimental techniques and applications, preparing readers for advanced studies in high-energy physics, nuclear technology, and fundamental physics research addressing unsolved mysteries of universe structure and composition.
