1. An Introduction to Beam Physics

   By Martin Berz, Kyoko Makino, Weishi Wan

   Series: Series in High Energy Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation

   An Introduction to Beam Physics covers the principles and applications of differential algebra, a powerful new mathematical tool. The authors discuss the uses for the computation of transfer maps for all kinds of particle accelerators or any weakly nonlinear dynamical system, such as planetary...

2. Neutrino Physics, Second Edition

   By Kai Zuber

   Series: Series in High Energy Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation

   When Kai Zuber’s pioneering text on neutrinos was published in 2003, the author correctly predicted that the field would see tremendous growth in the immediate future. In that book, Professor Zuber provided a comprehensive self-contained examination of neutrinos, covering their research history and...

3. Group Theory for the Standard Model of Particle Physics and Beyond

   By Ken J. Barnes

   Series: Series in High Energy Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation

   Based on the author’s well-established courses, Group Theory for the Standard Model of Particle Physics and Beyond explores the use of symmetries through descriptions of the techniques of Lie groups and Lie algebras. The text develops the models, theoretical framework, and mathematical tools to...

4. The Standard Model and Beyond

   By Paul Langacker

   Series: Series in High Energy Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation

   The Standard Model and Beyond presents an advanced introduction to the physics and formalism of the standard model and other non-abelian gauge theories. It provides a solid background for understanding supersymmetry, string theory, extra dimensions, dynamical symmetry breaking, and cosmology. The...

5. Particle and Astroparticle Physics

   By Utpal Sarkar

   Series: Series in High Energy Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation

   From superstring theory to models with extra dimensions to dark matter and dark energy, a range of theoretically stimulating ideas have evolved for physics beyond the standard model. These developments have spawned a new area of physics that centers on the interplay between particle physics and...

6. Joint Evolution of Black Holes and Galaxies

   Edited by M. Colpi, V. Gorini, F. Haardt, U. Moschella

   Series: Series in High Energy Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation

   Black holes are among the most mysterious objects that the human mind has been capable of imagining. As pure mathematical constructions, they are tools for exploiting the fundamental laws of physics. As astronomical sources, they are part of our cosmic landscape, warping space-time, coupled to the...

7. Gravitation

   From the Hubble Length to the Planck Length

   Edited by I. Ciufolini, E. Coccia, V. Gorini, N. Vittorio, R. Peron

   Series: Series in High Energy Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation

   Although gravity is the dominant force of nature at large distances (from intermediate scales to the Hubble length), it is the weakest of forces in particle physics, though it is believed to become important again at very short scales (the Planck length). The conditions created in particle...

8. Neutrino Physics

   By Kai Zuber

   Series: Series in High Energy Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation

   Neutrino physics remains one of the most exciting fields of fundamental physics today. The neutrino's position at the intersection of particle physics, astrophysics, and nuclear physics ensures continuing interest in the subject. Major activities at accelerators like Fermilab, KEK and CERN, in...

9. The Galactic Black Hole

   Lectures on General Relativity and Astrophysics

   Edited by H Falcke, F Hehl

   Series: Series in High Energy Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation

   The supermassive black hole in the center of our Milky Way is the nearest such object and relatively easy to observe and study. Not surprisingly therefore, it is the best studied supermassive black hole. Many astrophysical and even general relativistic effects can be investigated in great detail....

10. The Mathematical Theory of Cosmic Strings

    Cosmic Strings in the Wire Approximation

    By M.R. Anderson

    Series: Series in High Energy Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation

    This book is a comprehensive survey of the current state of knowledge about the dynamics and gravitational properties of cosmic strings treated in the idealized classical approximation as line singularities described by the Nambu-Goto action. The author's purpose is to provide a standard reference...
