Publisher's Synopsis
Written as complete and self-help type comprehensive textbooks, these two volumes will
cover the three broad topics of nuclear physics, particle physics and cosmology in a
consistent and engaging manner.
The main aim of the books will be to create interest in the topics enabling further study,
providing encouragement of critical thinking, critical analysis and problem solving.
Volume 2 covers particle physics and cosmology. Chapters describing particle physics will
be concerned with understanding and classifying the many sub- nuclear particles as well as
detailed study of standard model of particle physics and other recent advances in the field.
Particle physics must be taken into account in cosmological models of the early universe,
and in the cosmology chapters various models will be discussed, together with
observations of the e.g. cosmic microwave background, dark matter, and baryon
asymmetry.
