Cambridge University Press Introduction to High Energy Physics
Book SynopsisThis highly-regarded text provides a comprehensive introduction to modern particle physics. Extensively rewritten and updated, this 4th edition includes developments in elementary particle physics, as well as its connections with cosmology and astrophysics. As in previous editions, the balance between experiment and theory is continually emphasised. The stress is on the phenomenological approach and basic theoretical concepts rather than rigorous mathematical detail. Short descriptions are given of some of the key experiments in the field, and how they have influenced our thinking. Although most of the material is presented in the context of the Standard Model of quarks and leptons, the shortcomings of this model and new physics beyond its compass (such as supersymmetry, neutrino mass and oscillations, GUTs and superstrings) are also discussed. The text includes many problems and a detailed and annotated further reading list.Trade Review'This edition represents a major rewrite, not just a set of updates. Welcome additions are lengthy chapters on 'physics beyond the standard model' and 'particle physics and cosmology' … it is about as up to date as can be expected in such a rapidly advancing area æ what sets this book apart from its competitors is that the author has both a very good knowledge of theory and understands experimental techniques and limitations far better than most. His intuitive understanding of the subject matter is very evident. I would predict that another generation of teachers and students will welcome this revised text. It is without a peer at this level. I would certainly use it …'. Stuart Tovey, The PhysicistTable of ContentsPreface; 1. Quarks and leptons; 2. Interactions and fields; 3. Invariance principles and conservation laws; 4.

Cambridge University Press Atomic Theory and the Description of Nature Four Essays with an Introductory Survey
Book SynopsisNiels Bohr (1885â1962) was a Danish physicist who played a key role in the development of atomic theory and quantum mechanics, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922. First published in 1934, and reprinted in 1961, this collection contains four articles and an introductory survey. Originally written for various journals during the 1920s, the articles concern themselves with the epistemological significance of discoveries in quantum physics. Although aimed at physicists, they are generally non-technical, with only one using some elementary mathematics. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Bohr's contribution to physics.Table of ContentsIntroductory survey; 1. Atomic theory and mechanics; 2. The quantum postulate and the recent development of atomic theory; 3. The quantum of action and the description of nature; 4. The atomic theory and the fundamental principles underlying the description of nature.

Cambridge University Press Quantum Mechanics
Book SynopsisThis book has a rigorous yet comfortably accessible discussion of quintessential topics in quantum mechanics. Designed for graduate students and researchers, it has lucid qualitative and mathematical explanations of fundamental principles and modern applications. Readers will be encouraged to apply quantum mechanics to problems of current interest.Trade Review'Pranawa, a well-known atomic physicist and a great teacher of quantum mechanics over decades, offers an excursion to the quantum world. 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'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'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'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'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.'

MIT Press Ltd Molecular Mechanisms in Materials
Book SynopsisA student-oriented introduction to understanding mechanisms at the atomistic level controlling macroscopic materials phenomena through molecular dynamics simulations.Machine-learning-based computation in materials innovation, performance optimization, and sustainability offers exciting opportunities at the mesoscale research frontier. Molecular Mechanisms in Materials presents research findings and insights about material behavior at the molecular level and its impact on macroscopic properties. The book?s fifteen essays represent author Sidney Yip?s work in atomistic modeling and materials simulation over more than five decades. The phenomena are grouped into five basic types: fluctuations in simple fluids, crystal melting, plasticity and fracture, glassy relaxations, and amorphous rheology, all focused on molecular mechanisms in base materials.The organizing principle of Molecular Mechanisms in Materials is multiscale modeling and simulation, where conceptual models and simulation techniques are linked across the micro-to-macro length and time scales to control the outcome of specific materials processes. Each essay addresses a specific standalone topic of materials phenomena while also recognizing the larger context of materials science and technology. Individual case studies serve both as standalone essays and companion pieces to each other. Indeed, the global transformation of science and technology is well underway: in his epilogue, Yip discusses the potential of artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance future materials for societal benefits in the face of global challenges such as climate change, energy sustainability, infrastructure renewal, and nuclear arms control.

Farrar, Straus and Giroux Fantastic Numbers and Where to Find Them
Book SynopsisA fun, dazzling exploration of the strange numbers that illuminate the ultimate nature of reality.For particularly brilliant theoretical physicists like James Clerk Maxwell, Paul Dirac, or Albert Einstein, the search for mathematical truths led to strange new understandings of the ultimate nature of reality. But what are these truths? What are the mysterious numbers that explain the universe? In Fantastic Numbers and Where to Find Them, the leading theoretical physicist and YouTube star Antonio Padilla takes us on an irreverent cosmic tour of nine of the most extraordinary numbers in physics, offering a startling picture of how the universe works. These strange numbers include Graham's number, which is so large that if you thought about it in the wrong way, your head would collapse into a singularity; TREE(3), whose finite nature can never be definitively proved, because to do so would take so much time that the universe would experience a Poincaré Rec
