This well-known introductory textbook gives a uniform presentation of nuclear <br />
and particle physics from an experimental point of view. The first part, <br />
Analysis, is devoted to disentangling the substructure of matter. This part <br />
shows that experiments designed to uncover the substructures of nuclei and <br />
nucleons have a similar conceptual basis, and lead to the present picture of all <br />
matter being constructed from a small number of elementary building blocks and a <br />
small number of fundamental interactions.<br />
<br />
The second part, Synthesis, shows how the elementary particles may be combined <br />
to build hadrons and nuclei. The fundamental interactions, which are responsible <br />
for the forces in all systems, become less and less evident in increasingly <br />
complex systems. Such systems are in fact dominated by many-body phenomena. A <br />
section on neutrino oscillations and one on nuclear matter at high temperatures <br />
bridge the field of "nuclear and particle physics" and "modern astrophysics and <br />
cosmology".<br />
<br />
The fourth edition includes new developments, in particular a new section on the <br />
double beta decay including a discussion of the possibility for a neutrinoless <br />
decay and its implications for the standard model. The concise text is based on <br />
lectures held at the University of Heidelberg. It has been translated into many <br />
languages and has become a standard reference for advanced undergraduate and <br />
graduate courses and includes numerous exercises with worked answers. <br />
