Particle and high-energy physics

Advances in Imaging & Electron Physics merges two long-running serials--Advances in Electronics & Electron Physics and Advances in Optical & Electron Microscopy.

The nuclear shell model has had much success when describing nuclear structure.

Metallic nanoparticles display fascinating properties that are quite different from those of individual atoms, surfaces or bulk rmaterials.

The search for neutrinoless double beta decay is one of the highest priority areas in particle physics today; it could provide insights to the nature of neutrino masses (currently not explained by the Standard Model) as well as how the universe survived its early stages.

This text offers a brief introduction to the dispersion relations as an approach to calculate S-matrix elements, a formalism that allows one to take advantage of the analytical structure of scattering amplitudes following the basic principles of unitarity and causality.

This concise primer reviews the latest developments in the field of jets.

It is clear that electron transfer chemisty is now one of the most active areas of chemical study.

The new edition of this remarkable textbook offers the reader a conceptually strong introduction to quantum mechanics, but goes beyond this to present a fascinating tour of modern theoretical physics.

The scientific program of these important proceedings was arranged to cover most of the field of neutrino physics.

The book provides an introduction to both theoretical and experimental results on chirality and wobbling in atomic nuclei.

The book offers a pedagogical introduction to higher-spin gauge theories.

This book provides a philosophically informed and mathematically rigorous introduction to the 'standard model' of particle physics.

The fifth edition of this well-established, highly regarded two-volume set continues to provide a fundamental introduction to advanced particle physics while incorporating substantial new experimental results, especially in the areas of Higgs and top sector physics, as well as CP violation and neutrino oscillations.

This book describes the computational methods most frequently used to deal with the interaction of charged particles, notably electrons, with condensed matter.

This book systematically discusses the algorithms and principles for achieving stable and optimal beam (or products of the beam) parameters in particle accelerators.

The Standard Model of elementary particles and interactions is one of the best tested theories in physics.

This book presents a multidisciplinary guide to gauge theory and gravity, with chapters by the world's leading theoretical physicists, mathematicians, historians and philosophers of science.

This thesis uses the tools of quantum information science to uncover fascinating new insights about the intersection of quantum theory and relativity.

The development of the technique of generating high-voltage nanosecond pulses based on the effect of a nanosecond opening switch in semiconductor diodes gave the prerequisites for the development of nanosecond electron accelerators with a pulse-periodic operation mode.

This thesis proposes a new perspective on scattering amplitudes in quantum field theories.

The Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe (KMI) was founded at Nagoya University in 2010 under the directorship of T Maskawa, in celebration of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics for M Kobayashi and T Maskawa, both who are alumni of Nagoya University.

'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 aims to integrate, in a pedagogical and technical manner, with detailed derivations, all essential principles of fundamental theoretical physics as developed over the past 100 years.
