It offers a concise but comprehensive overview of a number of topics, like general relativity, fission and fusion, which are otherwise only available with much more detail in other textbooks. Providing a general introduction to the underlying concepts (relativity, fission and fusion, fundamental forces), it allows readers to develop an idea of what these two research fields really involve. The book uses real-world examples to make the subject more attractive and encourage the use of mathematical formulae. Besides short scientists' biographies, diagrams, end-of-chapter problems and worked solutions are also included. Intended mainly for students of scientific disciplines such as physics and chemistry who want to learn about the subject and/or the related techniques, it is also useful to high school teachers wanting to refresh or update their knowledge and to interested non-experts. 410 0$aUndergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics,$x2192-4791 606 $aNuclear physics 606 $aGravitation 606 $aNuclear chemistry 606 $aParticle and Nuclear Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23002 606 $aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070 606 $aNuclear Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C31000 615 0$aNuclear physics. 615 0$aGravitation. 615 0$aNuclear chemistry. 615 14$aParticle and Nuclear Physics. 615 24$aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory. 615 24$aNuclear Chemistry. 676 $a539.7 700 $aD'Auria$b Saverio$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0835317 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910315358403321 996 $aIntroduction to Nuclear and Particle Physics$91866796 997 $aUNINA
