Title Introduction to Particle and Astroparticle Physics : Questions to the Universe Author(s) De Angelis, Alessandro;Pimenta, M??rio Jo??o Martins Publication Milano, Springer Milan, 2015. Description XXIII, 661 p. 391 illus : online resource Abstract Note This book, written by researchers who had been professionals in accelerator physics before becoming leaders of groups in astroparticle physics, introduces both fields in a balanced and elementary way, requiring only a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics on the part of the reader. The early history of particle physics cannot be distinguished from the history of cosmic rays. With the advent of accelerators, however, the importance of cosmic rays in particle physics was lost. This situation persisted until the 1990s, when novel techniques allowed breakthrough discoveries, and exploration of new physics scales now requires returning to cosmic rays. The new profile of scientists in fundamental physics ideally involves the merging of knowledge in astroparticle and particle physics, but the duration of modern experiments is such that people cannot simultaneously be practitioners in both. Introduction to Particle and Astroparticle Physics is designed to bridge the gap between the fields. It can be used as a self-training book, a consultation book, or a textbook providing a ???modern??? approach to particles and fundamental interactions ISBN,Price 9788847026889 Keyword(s) 1.
