Introduction to particle and astroparticle physics : multimessenger astronomy and its particle physics foundations
By: Angelis, Alessandro De.
Contributor(s): Pimenta, Mario.
Series: Undergraduate lecture notes in physics. /edited by Neil Ashby.Publisher: Switzerland Springer 2018Edition: 2nd ed.Description: xxx, 733p.ISBN: 9783319781808.Subject(s): Astrophysics | Particles (Nuclear physics)DDC classification: 539.72 | An43i2 Summary: This book introduces particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Starting from an experimental perspective, it provides a unified view of these fields that reflects the very rapid advances being made. This new edition has a number of improvements and has been updated to describe the recent discovery of gravitational waves and astrophysical neutrinos, which started the new era of multimessenger astrophysics; it also includes new results on the Higgs particle. Astroparticle and particle physics share a common problem: we still don’t have a description of the main ingredients of the Universe from the point of view of its energy budget. Addressing these fascinating issues, and offering a balanced introduction to particle and astroparticle physics that requires only a basic understanding of quantum and classical physics, this book is a valuable resource, particularly for advanced undergraduate students and for those embarking on graduate courses. It includes exercises that offer readers practical insights. It can be used equally well as a self-study book, a reference and a textbook.| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
