Particle & High Energy Physics

This text gives readers a grounding in particle physics, including its experimental tools and methods. Wherever possible, the author takes a historical approach that shows how the model is linked to the physics that most of us have learned in less challenging areas. The text describes the standard m..

The first book of its kind to highlight the unique capabilities of laser-driven acceleration and its diverse potential, Applications of Laser-Driven Particle Acceleration presents the basic understanding of acceleration concepts and envisioned prospects for selected applications...

For many applications, compound semiconductors are now viable competitors to elemental semiconductors because of their wide range of physical properties. This book describes all aspects of radiation detection and measurement using compound semiconductors, including crystal growth, detector fabricati..

Focuses on the cosmological implications of the gauge theories of particle physics and of string theory. This book examines relics of early phase transitions, generic relics, and supersymmetric particles. It studies supersymmetric theory, supergravity theory, and the constraints on the underlying fi..

This book introduces the physics of accelerators, lasers, and plasma in tandem with the industrial methodology of inventiveness, a technique that teaches that similar problems and solutions appear again and again in seemingly dissimilar disciplines. This unique approach builds bridges between the th..
