SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding comprehensive resources for Nuclear and Particle Physics, particularly for PhD students seeking a broader understanding. Recommended introductory texts include "Introduction to Nuclear and Particle Physics" by Das and Ferbel, "Nuclear and Particle Physics" by Williams, and "Subatomic Physics" by Henley and Garcia. For advanced study, "Nuclei and Particles" by Segre and "Theoretical Nuclear and Subnuclear Physics" by Walecka are suggested. These resources provide essential foundational and advanced knowledge necessary for academic defense in the field.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with basic concepts in Nuclear Physics
  • Understanding of Particle Physics fundamentals
  • Knowledge of academic research methodologies
  • Ability to interpret scientific literature
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Introduction to Nuclear and Particle Physics" by Das and Ferbel
  • Explore "Nuclei and Particles" by Segre for advanced insights
  • Study "Theoretical Nuclear and Subnuclear Physics" by Walecka
  • Review academic papers on recent advancements in Nuclear Physics
USEFUL FOR

PhD students in Nuclear and Particle Physics, researchers seeking foundational knowledge, and anyone preparing for academic defenses 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
