---++Reading List There is a wide range of levels between the texts and some are more advanced reference texts. ---+++General particle physics texts * *Main textbook* (for historical reasons) _Nuclear and Particle Physics_, W.S.C. *Williams* (OUP, 1991, updated 1997, ISBN 0-19-852046-8) * _Introduction to Elementary Particles_, David *Griffith* (Wiley-VCH, 2008, second edition revised, ISBN 978-3-527-40601-2) * _Introduction to high energy physics_, D.H. *Perkins*, Addison-Wesley (2nd and 3rd ed.), Cambridge University Press (4th ed.). _There are many copies of this book between 2nd and 4th edition in the library. Emphasis on 'historical' physics/methods._ * _The ideas of particle physics :an introduction for scientists (2nd Ed.)_, G.D. *Coughlan and* J.E. *Dodd*, Cambridge University Press, ISBN 0521385067(1991) * _Quarks and Leptons: An Introductory Course in Modern Particle Physics_, F. *Halzen and* A.D. *Martin*, Wiley and Sons, ISBN 0-471-88741-2 (1984). _Difficult to get hold of and more advanced than required for our course._ * _Elements of Nuclear Physics_, W.E. *Burcham*, Longman, ISBN 0-582-46027-1 (1985). _There is a more recent book by *Burcham and Jobes* which may also be useful._ * _Nuclear and Particle Physics_, B.R. *Martin*, Wiley, ISBN 0-470-02532-8 (2006). * _Particle Physics_, B.R. *Martin and* G. *Shaw*, Wiley, ISBN0-471-92359-1 (1992). * For students who have not attended Y1 "Quarks and Leptons", try reading the particle physics chapters from _Quarks, Leptons and the Big Bang_, *J. Allday*, (2nd edition, ISBN 0750308060) ---+++Particle Detectors * [[http://library.bham.ac.uk/www-bin/www_talis4?nextpage=www_frame_start&nohit=location-nohits&many=location-many&exact=location-exact&error=location-error&execute=location-list&work_id=1475975&browse=0&collection=9&search_type=8&refs_pos=0&AUTHOR_TITLE=KLEINKNECHT.DETECTORS+FOR+PARTICLE+RADIATION&restrict=D%3d1998&AUTHOR=kleinknecht&TITLE=detectors+for+particle+radiation&pub_date=1998&coll_name=Main%2BCatalogue][Detectors for particle radiation (2nd ed.)]], K. *Kleinknecht*, Cambridge University Press, ISBN 0521640326 (1998). Note the library has a couple of copies of 1st ed. which will also be useful. ---+++Particle Accelerators * [[http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Z3J4SjftF1YC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false][_Handbook of Accelerator Physics and Engineering_]], M. *Tigner and* A. *Chao*, World Scientific, ISBN 9810235003 (9789810235000), 1999 ---+++ Neutrino specific texts * _Neutrino Physics (2nd edition)_, *K.
