Symmetries, coupled with the mathematical concept of group theory, are an essential conceptual backbone in the formulation of quantum field theories capable of describing the world of elementary particles.
Laser-driven proton beams are still in their infancy but already have some outstanding attributes compared to those produced in conventional accelerators.
The aim of PARTICLES AND NUCLEI is to give a unified description of nuclear and particle physics because the experiments which have uncovered the substructure of atomic nuclei and nucleons are conceptually similar.
This Problem Book is based on the exercises and lectures which I have given to undergraduate and graduate students of the Faculty of Physics, University of Belgrade over many years.
This concise and readable book addresses primarily readers with a background in classical statistical physics and introduces quantum mechanical notions as required.
The main motivation for such lecture notes is the importance of the concept and mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking in modern theoretical physics and the relevance of a textbook exposition at the graduate student level beyond the oversimpli?
Statistical Methods in Quantum Optics 2 - Non-Classical Fields continues the development of the methods used in quantum optics to treat open quantum systems and their fluctuations.
At the time I learned quantum field theory it was considered a folk theo- rem that it is easy to construct field theories fulfilling either the locality or the spectrum condition.
In this book, quantum mechanics is developed from the outset on a relativistic basis, using the superposition principle, Lorentz invariance and gauge invariance.

Electroweak and Strong Interaction: An Introduction to Theoretical Particle Physics begins with relativistic quantum mechanics, which lays the foundation for the rest of the text.
The second edition of this monograph discusses the usefulness of heavy flavor as a probe of TeV-scale physics, exploring a number of recently-uncovered "e;flavor anomalies"e; that are suggestive of possible TeV-scale phenomena.
Electroweak and Strong Interaction: Phenomenology, Concepts, Models, begins with relativistic quantum mechanics and some quantum field theory which lay the foundation for the rest of the text.
This exercise book contains 300 typical problems and exercises in modern physics and radiation physics with complete solutions, detailed equations and graphs.
Periodic magnetic structures (undulators) are widely used in accelerators to generate monochromatic undulator radiation (UR) in the range from far infrared to the hard X-ray region.
This book is devoted to some recently developed techniques in quantum field theory (QFT), as well as to their main applications to different areas of parti- cle physics.
Expanding on the concept of the authors' previous book "e;Electroweak Processes in External Electromagnetic Fields, this new book systematically describes the investigation methods for the effects of external active media, both strong electromagnetic fields and hot dense plasma, in quantum processes.
Strong dynamics constitutes one of the pillars of the standard model of particle interactions, and it accounts for the bulk of the visible matter in the universe made by ordinary protons and neutrons.
The second edition of this monograph discusses the usefulness of heavy flavor as a probe of TeV-scale physics, exploring a number of recently-uncovered "e;flavor anomalies"e; that are suggestive of possible TeV-scale phenomena.
Optical solitons in fibers are a beautiful example of how an abstract mathematical concept has had an impact on new information transmission technologies.
