Abstract:
The Facts On File Dictionary of Atomic and Nuclear Physics contains more than 2,000 entries that explain, clearly and concisely, the most relevant and frequently used terms associated with atomic and nuclear physics. An ideal tool, the dictionary articulates the scope of modern research and discoveries in particle physics, questions of philosophical interest, and applications for nuclear physics in nuclear energy and nuclear medicine. The volume is particularly useful for high school students taking courses in AP chemistry and physics as well as for college students and researchers requiring a handy reference. More than 40 line drawings and a set of appendices (including a bibliography) help to illustrate many complex concepts, and cross-references guarantee that the reader will waste no time in finding the right definition.
