Il libro intende fornire le conoscenze teoriche e fenomenologiche di base della struttura della materia a livello subatomico, presentando in maniera coordinata concetti e caratteristiche della fisica nucleare e della fisica delle particelle elementari.
Partendo da un livello di base (nomenclatura, classificazione, tecniche di accelerazione e di rivelazione delle particelle elementari), si passano in rassegna le proprietà delle interazioni fondamentali (elettromagnetica, debole e forte). Vengono descritti poi i risultati che confermano il Modello Standard del microcosmo, per terminare con i problemi ancora aperti. Per esempio, la violazione di CP attualmente misurata non spiega l asimmetria materia-antimateria dell Universo osservata; le oscillazioni dei neutrini e la quantità di materia oscura prevista dalla cosmologia sembrano richiedere qualcosa oltre il Modello Standard.
Il libro è organizzato in modo da coprire gli argomenti dei corsi di Fisica Nucleare e Subnucleare della Laurea in Fisica, e dei corsi di Fisica delle Particelle della Laurea Magistrale.

Giorgio M. Giacomelli became full professor of Physics in 1971. He is (co)author of 650 publications in scientific journals and over 350 reports and conference proceedings. He supervised 115 Laurea Theses, 30 PhD Theses. He received prizes from the Italian Physical Society, the University of Bologna and from the A. Della Riccia Foundation. He is Marchigiano of the year 2006 . In 1981 the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) listed him in the 1000 Contemporary Scientists Most-Cited in 1969-78. He is presently in the Highly Cited list of ISI. He was Director of the Institute of Physics, of the Department of Physics (1975-88) and President of the Laurea in Physics Committee of the University of Bologna. He was a member of many national and international scientific committees (SPSC, LEPC and ECFA at CERN, HEP at Fermilab, of INFN, of the ENI foundation, of CTS of ENEA, bioethics of CNR, of the Galvani Committee). Presently he is Emeritus Professor at the University of Bologna, collaborator of INFN and CERN, Fellow of the American Physical Society, Socio Benemerito of the Italian Physical Society, member of the European Physical Society, of the Accademia delle Scienze di Bologna, of the New York Academy of Sciences, and the Accademia Teatina. He is one of the Editors of the Journal Astroparticle Physics .
Bericht
From the reviews: This book is a simple and complete introduction to Particle Physics. intended for graduate and post-graduate students and requires only a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics and mathematics. Both theoretical and experimental aspects of Particle Physics are illustrated in an easy and exhaustive way. The book is self-consistent and gives a complete panoramic to modern particle physics and for this reason is suitable for elementary courses in Particle Physics as well as an introduction to advanced courses.
