Since this time a large amount of new experimental data have been
obtained at the Electron-Proton Collider HERA at DESY in Hamburg. In
summer of 2007 the Collider was turned o?. The chapters 7 and 8 were
partially rewritten as to include the most spectacular new results on
deep inelastic scattering. I would like to thank Tina Pollmann for
preparing the ?gures and Jurgen ¨ Sawinski for the formatting of the
Sixth Edition. Heidelberg, February 2008 Bogdan Povh Preface to the
Fourth and the Fifth Edition In the last two editions we included new
results on the neutrino oscillations as evidence for a non-vanishing
mass of the neutrinos. In the present edition we have rewritten the
chapter on “Phenomenology
oftheWeakInteraction”(Chapter10)inordertogiveacoherentpresentation

Thermodynamics” (Chapter 19). Heidelberg, July 2006 Bogdan Povh
Preface to the First Edition The aim of Particles and Nuclei is to
give a uni?ed description of nuclear and particle physics because the
experiments which have uncovered
thesubstructureofatomicnucleiandnucleonsareconceptuallysimilar.With
theprogressofexperimentalandtheoreticalmethods,atoms,nuclei,nucleons,
and ?nally quarks have been analysed during the course of this
century. The intuitive assumption that our world is composed of a few
constituents — an idea which seems attractive, but could not be
taken for granted — appears to be con?rmed. Moreover, the
interactions between these constituents of matter can be formulated
elegantly, and are well understood conceptionally, within the
so-called “standard model”. Once we have arrived at this
underlying theory we are immediately
facedwiththequestionofhowthecomplexstructuresaroundusareproducedbyit.
