About the Book
The book Nuclear and Particle Physics is an introductory text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of physics. The book contains fifteen chapters and each chapter is provided with objective type questions, solved examples and exercises.
The text has been presented in a simple manner that helps student to grasp the subject matter easily. The students will find a fair amount of detail in the examples and derivation given in the text. The book deals with the size, shape and properties of nuclei, electric and magnetic moments, radioactivity and radioactive decays, nuclear models, nuclear reactions including fission and fusion, nuclear detectors. Elementary particles and their classification, quark model, standard model are also briefly discussed
