Looking for a book with an Overview of Nuclear and Particle Physics

AI Thread Summary
For those pursuing a PhD in Nuclear and Particle Physics and seeking a broader understanding beyond specific research papers, several recommended textbooks provide comprehensive overviews. Key introductory texts include "Nuclear and Particle Physics" by Martin, "Introduction to Nuclear and Particle Physics" by Das and Ferbel, and "Subatomic Physics" by Henley and Garcia. For more advanced study, "Nuclei and Particles" by Segre and "Theoretical Nuclear and Subnuclear Physics" by Walecka are suggested. These resources aim to enhance general knowledge, which is crucial for defense preparation in the field.

Hi,

I am doing my PHD in Nuclear/Particle Physics and I am getting all of the information I am using from papers, which are very specific. I feel like I am lacking general knowledge, which is likely to be tested in the defense. Do you know any book where I can get a better overview on Nuclear and Particle Physics?

Thank you!

Those are not about the nuclear.

In addition to Povh et al that @vanhees71 mentioned, there are also:
Martin, Nuclear and Particle Physics
Williams, Nuclear and Particle Physics
Das and Ferbel, Introduction to Nuclear and Particle Physics
Henley and Garcia, Subatomic Physics
Burcham and Jobes, Nuclear and Particle Physics
Blin-Stoyle, Nuclear and Particle Physics

The above are all introductions, while more advanced are:
Segre, Nuclei and Particles
Walecka, Theoretical Nuclear and Subnuclear Physics
 
TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
