This updated edition of Collider Physics surveys the major developments in theoretical and experimental particle physics and uses numerous illustrations to show how the Standard Model explains the experimental results.
The work presented in this book is based on the proton-proton collision data from the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector in 2015 and 2016.
Condensation Particle Counting Technology and Its Applications introduces the principles, key components, calibration methods, and applications of condensation particle counting systems.
Every second of every day, we are exposed to billions of neutrinos emitted by the Sun, and yet they seem to pass straight through us with no apparent effect at all.
Professor Freeman Dyson, a great physicist, thinker and futurist, has been very active in scientific, literary and public policy activities throughout his career.
While theoretical particle physics is an extraordinarily fascinating field, the incredibly fast pace at which it moves along, combined with the huge amount of background information necessary to perform cutting edge research, poses a formidable challenge for graduate students.
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.
The study of energetic particles in magnetic fusion plasmas is key to the development of next-generation "e;burning"e; plasma fusion experiments, such as the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) and the Demonstration Power Station (DEMO).
This book describes, as simply as possible, the mechanisms of scattering (both elastic and inelastic) of electrons with solid targets (electron-atom, electron-plasmon, and electron-phonon interactions).
This book provides a thorough yet concise introduction to quantitative radiobiology and radiation physics, particularly the practical and medical application.
This book presents a selection of advanced lectures from leading researchers, providing recent theoretical results on strongly coupled quantum field theories.
Physics World's 'Book of the Year' for 2016 An Entertaining and Enlightening Guide to the Who, What, and Why of String Theory, now also available in an updated reflowable electronic format compatible with mobile devices and e-readers.
The advent of relatively inexpensive but powerful computers is af- fecting practically all aspects of our lives, but some of the greatest influence is being felt in the physical sciences.
Describes the fundamentals and applications of gaseous radiation detection, ideal for researchers and experimentalists in nuclear and particle physics.
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.
Applications of quantum field theoretical methods to gravitational physics, both in the semiclassical and the full quantum frameworks, require a careful formulation of the fundamental basis of quantum theory, with special attention to such important issues as renormalization, quantum theory of gauge theories, and especially effective action formalism.
This volume contains the Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute "e;Quantum Optics and Experimental General Relativity"e; which was held in Bad Windsheim, Federal Republic of Germany, from August 16 to 29, 1981.
This revised edition provides an up-to-date summary of the field of ultra-high energy cosmic rays, dealing with their origin, propagation, and composition,.
This work tries to provide an elementary introduction to the notions of continuum limit and universality in statistical systems with a large number of degrees of freedom.
Written by an award-winning cosmologist, this brand new textbook provides advanced undergraduate and graduate students with coverage of the very latest developments in the observational science of cosmology.
