What is Nuclear and Particle Physics about?

This textbook originated from lectures given at the Physics Institute of theUniversity of Zurich in Switzerland between 1997 and 2012. It is intended asan introduction to nuclear and particle physics for undergraduate students at thebachelor’s and master’s levels. Students who intend to pursue a career in experimental particle physics will also find valuable information in some of the moreadvanced sections.This introduction into the world of nuclei and particles is presented from a historical viewpoint and is phenomenologically oriented. Many of the concepts andphenomena are derived with inductive rather than deductive thinking, following thepaths that often led to their final formulation. A balanced blend of experiments andtheory is presented. An introduction to the basic concepts of nuclear physics is givenbefore moving on to topics in particle physics which are developed in more detail.Many formulas are derived explicitly from first principles. The reader is expected tomaster the basic concepts of quantum mechanics.This textbook was originally published in 2007 in German by vdf Hochschulverlag AG at ETH Zurich. The current version is a translation into English whichhas been subs
