Description
Springer Elementary Particles and Their Interactions Concepts and Phenomena 1998 Edition by Quang Ho-Kim, Xuan-Yem Pham
The first part of this two-part work is intended as an introduction to the fundamentals, while the second part discusses applications from the point of view of the researcher. Lively illustrations and informative tables, an overview at the beginning of each chapter and exercises with solutions make this book a valuable resource.
