  • Cosmogenic Radionuclides

    Theory and Applications in the Terrestrial and Space Environments

    by Jürg Beer, Ken McCracken, Rudolf Steiger ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Cosmogenic radionuclides are radioactive isotopes which are produced by natural processes and distributed within the Earth system. With a holistic view of the environment the authors show in this book how cosmogenic radionuclides can be used to trace and to reconstruct the history of a large variety of processes. They discuss the way in which cosmogenic radionuclides can assist in the ... Read more

  • Solar Neutrons and Related Phenomena

    by Lev Dorman ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Short Historical Overview In the 1940s, two phenomena in the ?eld of cosmic rays (CR) forced scientists to think that the Sun is a powerful source of high-energy particles. One of these was discovered because of the daily solar variation of CR, which the maximum number of CR observed near noon (referring to the existence of continuous ?ux of CR from the direction of the Sun); this became the ...

  • Dense Matter in Compact Stars

    A Pedagogical Introduction

    by Andreas Schmitt ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The purpose and motivation of these lectures can be summarized in the following two questions: • What is the ground state (and its properties) of dense matter? • What is the matter composition of a compact star? The two questions are, of course, strongly coupled to each other. Depending on your point of view, you can either consider the ?rst as the main question and the second as a consequence or ...

  • Magnetohydrodynamics and Fluid Dynamics: Action Principles and Conservation Laws

    by Gary Webb ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This text focuses on conservation laws in magnetohydrodynamics, gasdynamics and hydrodynamics. A grasp of new conservation laws is essential in fusion and space plasmas, as well as in geophysical fluid dynamics; they can be used to test numerical codes, or to reveal new aspects of the underlying physics, e.g., by identifying the time history of the fluid elements as an important key to ...

  • Magnetospheric Plasma Physics: The Impact of Jim Dungey’s Research

    Edited by Simon Mitton, David Southwood, Stanley W. H. Cowley FRS ...
    Series series Springer Nature Proceedings excluding Computer Science
    This book makes good background reading for much of modern magnetospheric physics. Its origin was a Festspiel for Professor Jim Dungey, former professor in the Physics Department at Imperial College on the occasion of his 90th birthday, 30 January 2013. Remarkably, although he retired 30 years ago, his pioneering and, often, maverick work in the 50’s through to the 70’s on solar terrestrial ... Read more
