Nuclear Physics

  • Antimatterby Frank Close

    OUP Oxford 2009; US$ 11.75

    Frank Close explores the strange mirror world of antimatter, revealing that the reality is even more fascinating than the sci-fi stories suggest. Explaining the science behind one of physics' most extraordinary discoveries, he shows how, through understanding antimatter, we can shed light on some of the deepest mysteries of the universe. - ;Antimatter explores a strange mirror world, where particles have identical yet opposite properties to those that make up the familiar matter we encounter everyday; where left becomes right, positive becomes negative; and where, should matter and antimatter meet, the two annihilate in a blinding flash of energy that makes even thermonuclear explosions look feeble by comparison. It is an idea long beloved... more...

  • Hydrogen as a Fuelby Richard Cammack; R.L. Robson; Michel Frey

    CRC Press 2001; US$ 109.95

    The last five years have seen breakthroughs in our understanding of the nature, structure and biosynthesis of hydrogenases. This book is a timely description of these developments, taking a lucid, multidisciplinary approach. more...

  • The Radioactive Boy Scoutby Ken Silverstein

    Random House Publishing Group 2004; US$ 9.99

    Growing up in suburban Detroit, David Hahn was fascinated by science, and his basement experiments—building homemade fireworks, brewing moonshine, and concocting his own self-tanning lotion—were more ambitious than those of other boys. While working on his Atomic Energy badge for the Boy Scouts, David’s obsessive attention turned to nuclear energy. Throwing caution to the wind, he plunged into a new project: building a nuclear breeder reactor in his backyard garden shed. In The Radioactive Boy Scout , veteran journalist Ken Silverstein recreates in brilliant detail the months of David’s improbable nuclear quest. Posing as a physics professor, David solicited information on reactor design from the U.S. government and... more...

  • Principles Of Fusion Energyby A A Harms; G H Miley; K F Schoepf

    World Scientific 2000; US$ 72.80

    This textbook accommodates the two divergent developmental paths which have become solidly established in the field of fusion energy: the process of sequential tokamak development toward a prototype and the need for a more fundamental and integrative research approach before costly design choices are made. Emphasis is placed on the development of physically coherent and mathematically clear characterizations of the scientific and technological foundations of fusion energy which are specifically suitable for a first course on the subject. Of interest, therefore, are selected aspects of nuclear physics, electromagnetics, plasma physics, reaction dynamics, materials science, and engineering systems, all brought together to form an integrated... more...

  • Supersymmetric World, Theby G Kane; M Shifman

    World Scientific 2000; US$ 93.60

    The story of the discovery of supersymmetry is a fascinating one, unlike that of any other major development in the history of science. This engaging book presents a view of the process, mainly in the words of people who participated. It combines anecdotal descriptions and personal reminiscences with more technical accounts of the trailblazers, covering the birth of the theory and its first years - the origin of the idea, four-dimensional field theory realization, and supergravity. The eyewitnesses convey to us the drama of one of the deepest discoveries in theoretical physics in the 20th century. more...

  • Pomeron Physics and QCDby Sandy Donnachie; Günter Dosch; Peter Landshoff; Otto Nachtmann; T. Ericson; P. Y. Landshoff

    Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 65.00

    This book describes the underlying ideas and modern developments of Regge theory, confronting the theory with a huge variety of experimental data. Covering forty years of research, it provides a unique insight into the theory and its phenomenological development. Essential reading for particle physicists. more...

  • Symmetries in Physicsby Katherine Brading; Elena Castellani

    Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 53.00

    This book brings together current philosophical discussions of symmetry in physics, highlighting the main issues and controversies. It covers all the fundamental symmetries of modern physics, as well as discussing symmetry-breaking and general interpretational issues. For each topic, classic texts are followed by review articles and short commentaries. more...

  • Electron Scattering for Nuclear and Nucleon Structureby John Dirk Walecka; T. Ericson; P. Y. Landshoff

    Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 70.00

    Scattering of high-energy electrons from nuclear and nucleon targets essentially provides a microscope for examining the structure of these tiny objects. This book examines the motivation for electron scattering, develops the theoretical analysis of the process and summarises present experimental capabilities. Suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduates and researchers. more...

  • Hadrons and Quark-Gluon Plasmaby Jean Letessier; Johann Rafelski; T. Ericson; P. Y. Landshoff

    Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 70.00

    This book provides an accessible introduction to the rapidly expanding field of hadronic interactions and the quark-gluon plasma. Covering the basics as well as more advanced material, it is ideal for graduate students as well as researchers already working in this and related fields. more...

  • Lévy Statistics and Laser Coolingby François Bardou; Jean-Philippe Bouchaud; Alain Aspect; Claude Cohen-Tannoudji

    Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 46.00

    A graduate-level book for researchers in atomic physics, quantum optics, and statistical physics, written by world leaders in the fields of laser cooling and light-atom interactions. They demonstrate how Lévy statistics can be applied to problems where Gaussian statistics are inadequate, using laser cooling of atoms as a case study. more...
