  • The Quantum World

    The disturbing theory at the heart of reality

    by New Scientist ...
    Series series New Scientist Instant Expert
    Forget everything you thought you knew about reality.The world is a seriously bizarre place. Things can exist in two places at once and travel backwards and forwards in time. Waves and particles are one and the same, and objects change their behaviour according to whether they are being watched. This is not some alternative universe but the realm of the very small, where quantum mechanics rules. ... Read more

  • Introduction to Modern Magnetohydrodynamics

    by Sébastien Galtier ...
    Ninety-nine percent of ordinary matter in the Universe is in the form of ionized fluids, or plasmas. The study of the magnetic properties of such electrically conducting fluids, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), has become a central theory in astrophysics, as well as in areas such as engineering and geophysics. This textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to MHD and its recent applications, in ... Read more

  • 100 Years Of Subatomic Physics

    by Ernest M Henley, Stephen D Ellis ...
    By year 1911 radioactivity had been discovered for over a decade, but its origin remained a mystery. Rutherford's discovery of the nucleus and the subsequent discovery of the neutron by Chadwick started the field of subatomic physics — a quest for understanding the fundamental constituents of matter.This book reviews the important achievements in subatomic physics in the past century. The chapters ... Read more

  • Lectures on LHC Physics

    by Tilman Plehn ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    When trying to apply the solid knowledge of quantum field theory to actual LHC physics - in particular to the Higgs sector and certain regimes of QCD - one inevitably meets an intricate maze of phenomenological know-how, common lores and other, often historically grown intuition about what works and what not.These lectures are intended to be a brief but sufficiently detailed primer on LHC physics ...

  • Extreme Explosions

    Supernovae, Hypernovae, Magnetars, and Other Unusual Cosmic Blasts

    by David S. Stevenson ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    What happens at the end of the life of massive stars? At one time we thought all these stars followed similar evolutionary paths. However, new discoveries have shown that things are not quite that simple.This book focuses on the extreme –the most intense, brilliant and peculiar– of astronomical explosions. It features highly significant observational finds that push the frontiers of astronomy and ... Read more
