Cold and Ultracold Collisions in Quantum Microscopic and Mesoscopic Systemsby John Weiner
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 50.00This book describes collisions between atoms that have been cooled to extremely low temperatures by optical and evaporative cooling techniques. It reviews quantum theory of scattering, and summarizes techniques of optical cooling and trapping. It describes applications to precision spectroscopy, determination of atomic properties and the manipulation of Bose-Einstein condensates. more...

The Mathematical Theory of Cosmic Stringsby M.R. Anderson
CRC Press 2002; US$ 149.95A survey of the 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. A working knowledge of basic general relativity is assumed. more...
A First Course in String Theoryby Barton Zwiebach
Cambridge University Press 2004; US$ 67.00An accessible introduction to the subject of string theory, this book provides a detailed and self-contained demonstration of the main concepts. Ideal as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate courses; also of interest to a wide range of scientists and mathematicians from other fields. more...
Lectures on Ion-Atom Collisionsby Jörg Eichler
Elsevier 2005; US$ 87.95Atomic collisions offer some unique opportunities to study atomic structure and reaction mechanisms in experiment and theory, especially for projectiles of high atomic number provided by modern accelerators. The book is meant as an introduction into the field and provides some basic theoretical understanding of the atomic processes occurring when a projectile hits another atom. It also furnishes the tools for a mathematical description, however, without going deeper into the technical details, which can be found in the literature given. With this aim, the focus is on reactions, in which only a single active electron participates. Collisional excitation, ionization and charge transfer are discussed for collision velocities ranging from slow... more...
The Standard Modelby Cliff Burgess; Guy Moore
Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 76.00The standard model of particle physics is used to introduce quantum field theory. It is a modern approach, emphasizing effective field theory techniques, and containing discussions of some of the main proposals for going beyond the standard model. It is ideal for graduate students in theoretical and experimental particle physics. more...
String Theory and M-Theoryby Katrin Becker; Melanie Becker; John Schwarz
Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 80.00This book guides the reader through string theory, one of the most exciting and challenging areas of modern theoretical physics. It is ideal for graduate students and researchers in modern string theory, and will make an excellent textbook. It contains exercises with solutions, and homework problems with solutions. more...
