High 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 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...
Cosmic Ray Diffusion in the Galaxy and Diffuse Gamma Emission
Springer 2012; US$ 99.99Cosmic 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...
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...
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...
Instruments and Methods for the Radio Detection of High Energy Cosmic Rays
Springer 2012; US$ 99.99Cosmic rays consist of elementary particles with enormous energy which originate from outside our solar system and constantly hit the Earths atmosphere. Where do these cosmic rays originate? How does nature accelerate the cosmic-ray particles to energies with orders of magnitude beyond the limits of manmade particle accelerators? What can we... 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...
