  • The Search and Discovery of the Higgs Boson

    A brief introduction to particle physics

    by Luis Roberto Flores Castillo ...
    Series series IOP Concise Physics
    This book provides a general description of the search for and discovery of the Higgs boson (particle) at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. The goal is to provide a relatively brief overview of the issues, instruments and techniques relevant for this search; written by a physicist who was directly involved. The Higgs boson may be the one particle that was studied the most before its discovery and the ... Read more

  • Five of Maxwell's Papers

    by James Clerk Maxwell ...
    When observing the spectrum formed by looking at a long vertical slit through a simple prism, I noticed an elongated dark spot running up and down in the blue, and following the motion of the eye as it moved up and down the spectrum, but refusing to pass out of the blue into the other colours. It was plain that the spot belonged both to the eye and to the blue part of the spectrum. ... Read more

  • Femtosecond Laser Filamentation

    by See Leang Chin ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book attempts to give a discussion of the physics and current and potential applications of the self-focusing of an intense femtosecond laser pulse in a tra- parent medium. Although self-focusing is an old subject of nonlinear optics, the consequence of self-focusing of intense femtosecond laser pulses is totally new and unexpected. Thus, new phenomena are observed, such as long range lam- ... Read more

  • Nonlinear and Nonequilibrium Dynamics of Quantum-Dot Optoelectronic Devices

    by Benjamin Lingnau ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis sheds light on the unique dynamics of optoelectronic devices based on semiconductor quantum-dots. The complex scattering processes involved in filling the optically active quantum-dot states and the presence of charge-carrier nonequilibrium conditions are identified as sources for the distinct dynamical behavior of quantum-dot based devices. Comprehensive theoretical models, which ... Read more
