Helping readers understand the complicated laws of nature, Advanced Particle Physics Volume II: The Standard Model and Beyond explains the calculations, experimental procedures, and measuring methods of particle physics, particularly quantum chromodynamics (QCD).
'The authors provide an up-to-date, well-organised background and essential elements of supergravity notions as well as all relevant aspects of Chern-Simons forms in gravitation.
This book presents, in the form of reviews by world's leading physicists in wide-ranging fields in theoretical physics, the influence and prescience of Skyrme's daring idea of 1960, originally conceived for nuclear physics, that fermions can arise from bosons via topological solitons, pervasively playing a powerful role in wide-ranging areas of physics, from nuclear/astrophysics, to particle physics, to string theory and to condensed matter physics.
We extend to gravitation our previous study of a quantum wave for all particles and antiparticles of each generation (electron + neutrino + u and d quarks for instance).
These proceedings are devoted to a wide variety of items, both in theory and experiment, of particle physics such as neutrino and astroparticle physics, tests of the standard model and beyond, and hadron physics.
The idea of colliding two particle beams to fully exploit the energy of accelerated particles was first proposed by Rolf Wideroe, who in 1943 applied for a patent on the collider concept and was awarded the patent in 1953.
This book aims to present the history and developments of particle physics from the introduction of the notion of particles by the Ionian school until the discovery of the Higgs boson at LHC in 2012.
These proceedings consist of plenary rapporteur talks covering topics of major interest to the high energy physics community and parallel sessions papers which describe recent research results and future plans.
This informative and entertaining book provides a broad look at the fascinating history of CERN, and the physicists working in different areas at CERN who were active in the discovery of the Higgs Boson.
The three-volume major reference "e;Photons in Fock Space and Beyond"e; undertakes a new mathematical and conceptual foundation of the theory of light emphasizing mesoscopic radiation systems.
'Harald Fritzsch and Murray Gell-Mann, the two fathers of quantum chromodynamics, look back at the events that led to the discovery, and eventually acceptance, of quarks as constituent particles .
This book provides extended versions of the talks given at the memorial Pomeranchuk-100 Conference, June 5-6, held in the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics, Moscow, Russia and the review of the 2013 Pomeranchuk Prize Winner - Mikhail Shifman.
Understanding and manipulating the properties of materials naturally occurring in our world and artificially produced by modern technologies requires detailed information on their properties on the atomic scale.
This volume contains the most important lecture notes by experts from condensed matter, particle physics and cosmology and is a MUST for young researchers and graduate students.
This volume, containing selected papers presented during the COSMEX '89 meeting, provides readers with integrative and innovative articles on many aspects on many aspects of stochastic methods and their applications to experimental sciences.
The proceedings presents in a systematic way Top searches, Jets, Gauge Boson production, precision tests of electroweak theory, Ln s Physics, heavy Flavours and exotics.
The proceedings are a compilation of formal papers and informal discussion on the practical concerns in operating and improving electrostatic accelerators and their boosters.
This workshop is intended to review the projects of large future accelerators and to analyze the problems related to the nonlinearities of the magnetic lattice due to superconducting magnets.
The Theoretical Advanced Study Institute (TASI) has become the major summer school for advanced students in elementary particle theory in the United States, offering courses in particle theory, phenomenology, and mathematical physics.
