Cosmic Ray Diffusion in the Galaxy and Diffuse Gamma Emission
Springer 2012; US$ 99.99High Energy Astrophysics
Springer 2012; US$ 79.99High-energy astrophysics has unveiled a Universe very different from that only known from optical observations. It has revealed many types of objects in which typical variability timescales are as short as years, months, days, and hours (in quasars, X-ray binaries, etc), and even down to milli-seconds in gamma ray bursts. The sources of energy that... more...
Cosmic Rays in Star-Forming Environments
Springer 2013; US$ 299.99These are the proceedings of the Sant Cugat Forum 2nd Workshop on Cosmic-ray Induced Phenomenology in Stellar Environments, held April 16-19, 2012. The aim of this Workshop was to address the current knowledge and challenges of high-energy emission from stellar environments at all scales and provide a comprehensive review of the state of the field... more...
Relativistic Astrophysics And Cosmology - Proceedings Of The 13th Course Of The International School Of Cosmic Ray Astrophysics
World Scientific Publishing Company 2004; US$ 127.00This book constitutes the proceedings of the 13th Course of the International School of Cosmic Ray Astrophysics. It focuses on major areas of astrophysics, their relation to cosmic ray physics, and our current understanding of the energetic processes in the Galaxy and the Universe that govern the acceleration and form the features of the cosmic rays... more...
Energy Budget In The High Energy Universe
World Scientific Publishing Company 2007; US$ 156.00The existence of materials with very high specific energies greatly exceeding the local virial temperature is best represented by cosmic rays, whose origin has long been a mystery. Recent astrophysical observations in X-ray, gamma-ray, neutrino, and high energy cosmic ray experiments, in conjunction with theoretical studies, have revealed various new... more...
Cosmic Rays at Earth
Elsevier Science 2001; US$ 330.00In 1912 Victor Franz Hess made the revolutionary discovery that ionizing radiation is incident upon the Earth from outer space. He showed with ground-based and balloon-borne detectors that the intensity of the radiation did not change significantly between day and night. Consequently, the sun could not be regarded as the sources of this radiation... more...
Cosmic Rays in Magnetospheres of the Earth and other Planets
Springer 2009; US$ 199.99Describes the behavior of cosmic rays in the magnetosphere of the Earth and of some other planets. This book deals with the history of the discovery of geomagnetic effects caused by cosmic rays and their importance for the determination of the nature of cosmic rays or gamma rays. more...
A Search for Muon Neutrino to Electron Neutrino Oscillations in the MINOS Experiment
Springer 2011; US$ 139.99The centerpiece of the thesis is the search for muon neutrino to electron neutrino oscillations which would indicate a non-zero mixing angle between the first and third neutrino generations (I 13), currently the "holy grail" of neutrino physics. The optimal extraction of the electron neutrino oscillation signal is based on the novel "library... more...
