Synopsis

The parent text deals with nuclear and particle physics at an introductory level. The first part of the text covers nuclear properties, decay, structure and reactions, followed by a chapter which provides a bridge from nuclear forces and beta-decay to elementary particles and their interactions. The book concludes with two chapters dealing with problems facing particle physics and with the astrophysical and cosmological implications of these subjects. This solutions manual provides detailed solutions to all of the problems contained in the parent text. For convenience, the problems themselves are also included. This will be useful as a sourcebook for lecturers and as a revision aid for students in its own right.
