At the outset of the research leading to this book I held a position somewhere close to 'the standard Copenhagen interpretation' of QM.

Superatoms are a growing topic of interest in nanoscience, bringing the physics of electronic structure together with the chemistry of atomically precise clusters.

When the discovery of the Higgs Boson at CERN hit the headlines in 2012, the world was stunned by this achievement of modern science.

Quantum chaos is becoming a very wide field that ranges from experiments to theoretical physics and purely mathematical issues.

The main pacemakers of scienti?

Comprehensive and up-to-date account of low energy positrons and positronium in atomic physics.

The major topics in this volume are electroweak physics (including LEP physics and radiative corrections), CP violation and lepton number nonconservation, and neutrino physics and astroparticle physics.

This primer develops Conformal Field Theory (CFT) from scratch, whereby CFT is viewed as any conformally-invariant theory that describes a fixed point of a renormalization group flow in quantum field theory.

This volume is a collection of the contributions to the 6th Annual Workshop on Polarized Positron held in China.

This book is a set of introductory lecture notes on Conformal Field Theory (CFT).

Large mass bolometers are used in particle physics experiments to search for rare processes, like neutrinoless double beta decay and dark matter interactions.

This book presents thermal field theory techniques, which can be applied in both cosmology and the theoretical description of the QCD plasma generated in heavy-ion collision experiments.

This textbook is designed to serve as a link between the basic disciplines of physics and the frontier topics within high energy astrophysics, aiming at a level of difficulty congruent with that of other physics topics studied at undergraduate level.

Cal Elgot was a very serious and thoughtful researcher, who with great determi- nation attempted to find basic explanations for certain mathematical phenomena- as the selection of papers in this volume well illustrate.
