Full Description

This is a comprehensive overview of the information yielded
by electroweak probes about the nuclear- and
subnuclear-scale structure of matter. Lepton-induced
processes from low energy through to the highest energies
are considered. The first three lectures review
electromagneticprocesses in hadrons; others cover the
properties of partons, the behaviour of the constituents of
the hadron, muon and neutrino scattering etc. An
introduction to electroweak theory including the status of
precision tests and data analyses is given along with a
report on the first results from HERA.
The lecturers have endeavoured to achieve a balance between
scientific and didactic aspects thus making the book
accessible also to students of nuclear and particle physics.
