OverviewNuclear and Particle Physics provides an introductory course on nuclear and particle physics for undergraduate and early-graduate students, which the author has taught for several years at the University of Zurich. It contains fundamentals on both nuclear and particle physics, giving emphasis to the discovery and history of developments in the field, and is experimentally/phenomenologically oriented. It contains detailed derivations of formulae such as 2–3 body phase space, the Weinberg-Salam model, and neutrino scattering. Originally published in German as Kern- und Teilchenphysik, several sections have been added to this new English version to cover modern topics, including updates on neutrinos, the Higgs boson, the top quark and bottom quark physics.

He worked as a research associate at Queen Mary College in London, TRIUMF in Vancouver, the University of New Mexico and Brookhaven National Laboratory. After a CERN fellowship and a brief stay at the University of Munich he joined the Physics Institute of the University of Zurich, where he became full professor of physics in 1999. He has supervised 40 doctoral and master’s theses. He is now professor emeritus and a member of the senior staff at the Albert Einstein Center for Fundamental Physics, University of Bern. His main fields of interest are strong interaction physics and meson spectroscopy. He is a member of the CMS Collaboration and of the Particle Data Group. He is currently involved in antihydrogen experiments at CERN. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
