He shares anecdotes, questions, solved problems and insights, in a non-traditional fashion. One gets a glimpse of quantum complexities. In excursions, some preparation and learning a little bit about the places of visit helps enormously. Similarly, a familiarity with quantum mechanics will help the students to appreciate the difficult subject presented in the book. I learned Feynman's path integral method somewhat late. It made lot of sense and helped my research. Pranawa's book, thankfully introduces path integral method, early in the beginning. Pranawa's book is a Lego Box with precious pieces. Students and teachers can build their own quantum world using the pieces. There is a lot to be gained from this book for hard-working students.' G. Baskaran, The Institute of Mathematical Sciences\u003cbr\u003e'Quantum Mechanics by Professor Deshmukh is a didactic book about basic QM, with the classical topics often illustrated by contemporary applications, punctuated with gems stemming from the Author research activity in atomic physics as well as fundamental problems. As example, after a detailed presentation of the Feynman's path integral formulation, a thorough discussion is given of geometrical phases, the Aharonov-Bohm effect including a numerical simulation and the connection with classical mechanics illustrated via a Foucault pendulum. Even for the quantum well a new approach via the Lambert W function is presented. Atomic structure and processes are more detailed than usual, including discussion of continuum states, dynamical symmetries and relativistic aspects. The style is leisurely, not overly formal, and you feel the teacher guiding you behind the shoulder, not shying from occasional longer derivations, but always with enough details to make for smooth sailing. A solid first approach for all students, especially recommended for further study in the quantum theory of matter and allied sciences.' Piero Decleva, Dipartimento di Scienze Chimiche, Universita' di Trieste\u003cbr\u003e'It is often said that it is not possible to really understand Quantum Mechanics. This might be true, but with enough effort it is certainly possible to learn to master its machinery and use it to explain physical phenomena and develop new technology. Professor Pranawa Deshmukh writes in this book: 'Quantum theory may shock and confuse us, but it is a successful theory of the physical world. It is cast in a mathematical framework which must be learned with patience and rigour'.' Eva Lindroth, Department of Physics, Stockholm University\u003cbr\u003e'Professor Deshmukh is well placed to author this text, as he has extensive teaching experience in both classical and quantum mechanics. Throughout the book, the author consistently communicates his own excitement and wonder at quantum mechanics as a fundamental description of nature. Following his previous book Foundations of Classical Mechanics he elucidates the challenges and achievements of quantum theory. The early chapters introduce the basics of quantum theory and introduce the reader to non-relativistic and relativistic versions. The later chapters tackle interesting applications ranging from one-electron and many-electron atoms, to quantum collisions and up to date topics such as quantum information (entanglement) and computing. His inclusion of very detailed derivations accompanied by insightful physical explanations makes the book very suitable for self-study or as a graduate text.' Eugene Kennedy, School of Physical Sciences, Dublin City University\u003cbr\u003e'This textbook on Quantum Mechanics (QM) follows a well-received CUP edition of the 'Foundations of Classical Mechanics' by the same author. While numerous texts on QM exist, the present book brings a fresh perspective given by a practicing atomic physics theorist with a wide range of research interests. The book is built from the historical background of QM up to the most recent applications including quantum information and computation. In this historical journey, the key milestones of QM are marked including the hydrogen atom, Feynman path integrals, light-matter interaction and scattering of atomic particles. A loving attention to detail and meticulous derivations make this book a pleasant and useful reading which will benefit both the students and practicing researchers.'

He then describes the relationship between the dose of radiation and the effect it produces. He shows how the dose-effect dependence is measured and what models of describing such dependences are used. He also discusses how radiation acts on living organisms: disorders in the genetic apparatus, mutation formation and so on. The book also includes detailed descriptions of the results of numerous health studies of large groups of people who, for one reason or another, were exposed to low doses of ionizing radiation, including those that significantly exceed the natural radiation background.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author concludes that low doses of radiation are safe and can even be beneficial (as known from medical radiation treatment); and also that the natural radiation background is necessary for the normal growth and development and well-being of a living organism.

It is broad in scope, encompassing atomic, molecular, and cluster polarizabilities. Both static and dynamic polarizabilities are treated (in the absence of absorption) and a full tensor picture of the polarizability is used. Traditional experimental techniques for measuring electric polarizabilities are described in detail. Recently developed experimental methods, including light forces, position-sensitive time-of-flight deflection, and atom interferometry, are also extensively discussed. Theoretical techniques for calculating polarizabilities are reviewed, including a discussion on the use of Gaussian basis sets. Many important comparisons between theory and experiment are summarized in an extensive set of tables of polarizabilities of important atoms, molecules, and clusters. Applications of polarizabilities to many areas of chemistry and physics are described, including optics, chemical structure, interactions of gases and particles with surfaces, and the interaction of molecules with light. The emphasis is on a lucid presentation of the ideas and results with up-to-date discussions on important applications such as optical tweezers and nanostructure fabrication. This book provides an excellent overview of the importance of polarizabilities in understanding the physical, electronic, and optical properties of particles in a regime that goes from free atoms to condensed-phase clusters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeneral properties of the linear polarizability; polarizable systems; theory; experiment; manifestations of polarization properties.","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48743272874327,"sku":"9789810224936","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"modern-nuclear-physics-from-fundamentals-to-frontiers-9789811622915","title":"Modern Nuclear Physics: From Fundamentals to","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis textbook is a unique and ambitious primer of nuclear physics, which introduces recent theoretical and experimental progresses starting from basics in fundamental quantum mechanics. The highlight is to offer an overview of nuclear structure phenomena relevant to recent key findings such as unstable halo nuclei, superheavy elements, neutron stars, nucleosynthesis, the standard model, lattice quantum chromodynamics (LQCD), and chiral effective theory. An additional attraction is that general properties of nuclei are comprehensively explained from both the theoretical and experimental viewpoints. The book begins with the conceptual and mathematical basics of quantum mechanics, and goes into the main point of nuclear physics – nuclear structure, radioactive ion beam physics, and nuclear reactions. The last chapters devote interdisciplinary topics in association with astrophysics and particle physics. A number of illustrations and exercises with complete solutions are given. Each chapter is comprehensively written starting from fundamentals to gradually reach modern aspects of nuclear physics with the objective to provide an effective description of the cutting edge in the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTentative Table of Contents [ asterisk  (*) for graduate level] \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e1.

The muon with the muon neutrino and strange and charm quarks create second generation of the Standard Model particles. Unique properties of muons, including its electric charge, mass, and lack of interaction via strong force made this particle a unique tool for discoveries of new elementary particles, including the Higgs boson, over last half a century. The prompt (by cascade transitions) and delayed (by weak muon capture) fission of heavy nuclei in muonic atoms became an important aspect of research. Use of muons as a probe particle to study various solid state samples recently developed in a separate branch of science. Muons can be used in the cold fusion for efficient energy production in the future. The studies of the processes beyond the Standard Model, the proton radius puzzle, the rare decays of the muon and its conversion into an electron and muonium into antimuonium, and hints of a difference in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon from predicted by the Standard Model, have become hot research topics. Muons are proposed to be used in accelerators providing ultra high intensity neutrino beams which will be used for studies of neutrinos, including their oscillations, which could shed a light on matter-antimatter universe asymmetry as well as for \"Higgs factories\" where a large number of Higgs bosons can be produced for in depth understanding of this recently discovered particle.

Supplemented with more than 250 illustrations, it provides a significant, up-to-date selection of papers by inter-nationally recognized researchers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Topics include:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheory of Polyelectrolyte Solutions (J.-L.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Barrat \u0026amp; J.-F.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Joanny).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Star Polymers: Experiment, Theory, and Simulation (G.
