| Title | Plasma Physics for Controlled Fusion |
| Author(s) | Miyamoto, Kenro |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016. |
| Description | XII, 495 p. 158 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This new edition presents the essential theoretical and analytical methods needed to understand the recent fusion research of tokamak and alternate approaches. The author describes magnetohydrodynamic and kinetic theories of cold and hot plasmas in detail. The book covers new important topics for fusion studies such as plasma transport by drift turbulence, which depend on the magnetic configuration and zonal flows. These are universal phenomena of microturbulence. They can modify the onset criterion for turbulent transport, instabilities driven by energetic particles as well as alpha particle generation and typical plasma models for computer simulation. The fusion research of tokamaks with various new versions of H modes are explained. The design concept of ITER, the international tokamak experimental reactor, is described for inductively driven operations as well as steady-state operations using non-inductive drives. Alternative approaches of reversed-field pinch and its relaxation process, stellator including quasi-symmetric system, open-end system of tandem mirror and inertial confinement are also explained. Newly added and updated topics in this second edition include zonal flows, various versions of H modes, and steady-state operations of tokamak, the design concept of ITER, the relaxation process of RFP, quasi-symmetric stellator, and tandem mirror. The book addresses graduate students and researchers in the field of controlled fusion. |

| Title | Read-Out and Coherent Manipulation of an Isolated Nuclear Spin : Using a Single-Molecule Magnet Spin-Transistor |
| Author(s) | Thiele, Stefan |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. |
| Description | XIII, 159 p. 93 illus., 61 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis sheds new light on the worldwide first electrical manipulation of a single nuclear spin. Over the last four decades, the size of a bit, the smallest logical unit in a computer, has decreased by more than two orders of magnitude and will soon reach a limit where quantum phenomena become important. Inspired by the power of quantum mechanics, researchers have already identified pure quantum systems, having, analog to a classical bit, two controllable and readable states. In this regard, the inherent spin of electrons or nuclei with its two eigenstates, spin up and spin down, is a promising candidate. Using expertise in the field of single-molecule magnets, the author developed a molecular transistor, which allows quantum information to be written onto a single nuclear spin by means of an electric field only, and, in addition, enables the electronic read-out of this quantum state. This novel approach opens a path to addressing and manipulating individual nuclear spins within a very confined space (a single molecule), at high speed. Thus, the author was able to show that single molecule magnets are promising candidates for quantum information processing, which is triggering a new field of research towards molecular quantum electronics |

| Title | An Introduction to the Confinement Problem |
| Author(s) | Greensite, Jeff |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2020. |
| Description | XIII, 271 p. 110 illus., 53 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book addresses the confinement problem, which concerns the behavior of non-abelian gauge theories, and the force which is mediated by gauge fields, at large distances. The word ???confinement??? in the context of hadronic physics originally referred to the fact that quarks and gluons appear to be trapped inside mesons and baryons, from which they cannot escape. There are other, and possibly deeper meanings that can be attached to the term, and these will be explored in this book. Although the confinement problem is far from solved, much is now known about the general features of the confining force, and there are a number of very well motivated theories of confinement which are under active investigation. This volume gives a both pedagogical and concise introduction and overview of the main ideas in this field, their attractive features, and, as appropriate, their shortcomings. This second edition summarizes some of the developments in this area which have occurred since the first edition of this book appeared in 2011. These include new results in the caloron/dyon picture of confinement, in functional approaches, and in studies of the Yang-Mills vacuum wave functional. Special attention, in two new chapters, is given to recent numerical investigations of the center vortex theory, and to the varieties of confinement which may exist in gauge-Higgs theories. Reviews of the first edition: ???This is indeed a very good book. I enjoyed reading it and ??? I learned a lot from it .??? It is definitely a research book that provides readers with a guide to the most updated confinement models.??? (Giuseppe Nardelli, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 d) ???The book is beautifully produced with special emphasis on the relevance of center symmetry and lattice formulation as well as an introduction to current research on confinement.??? (Paninjukunnath Achuthan, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1217, 2011) |

| Title | Soft and Hard Probes of QCD Topological Structures in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions |
| Author(s) | Shi, Shuzhe |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XI, 148 p. 69 illus., 62 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis makes significant advances in the quantitative understanding of two intrinsically linked yet technically very different phenomena in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Firstly, the thesis investigates the soft probe of strong interaction topological fluctuations in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) which is made possible via the anomalous chiral transport effects induced by such fluctuations. Here, the author makes contributions towards establishing the first comprehensive tool for quantitative prediction of the chiral magnetic effect in the QGP that is produced in heavy ion collision experiments. Secondly, the thesis deals with the hard probe of strongly coupled QGP created in heavy-ion collisions. In particular, this study addresses the basic question related to the nonperturbative color structure in the QGP via jet energy loss observables. The author further develops the CUJET computational model for jet quenching and uses it to analyze the topological degrees of freedom in quark-gluon plasma. The contributions this thesis makes towards these highly-challenging problems have already generated widespread impacts in the field of quark-gluon plasma and high-energy nuclear collisions |

| Title | Nuclear Fusion |
| Author(s) | Morse, Edward |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XXII, 512 p. 265 illus., 59 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The pursuit of nuclear fusion as an energy source requires a broad knowledge of several disciplines. These include plasma physics, atomic physics, electromagnetics, materials science, computational modeling, superconducting magnet technology, accelerators, lasers, and health physics. Nuclear Fusion distills and combines these disparate subjects to create a concise and coherent foundation to both fusion science and technology. It examines all aspects of physics and technology underlying the major magnetic and inertial confinement approaches to developing nuclear fusion energy. It further chronicles latest developments in the field, and reflects the multi-faceted nature of fusion research, preparing advanced undergraduate and graduate students in physics and engineering to launch into successful and diverse fusion-related research. Nuclear Fusion reflects Dr. Morse???s research in both magnetic and inertial confinement fusion, working with the world???s top laboratories, and embodies his extensive thirty-five year career in teaching three courses in fusion plasma physics and fusion technology at University of California, Berkeley. Combines theory, experiments, and technology into a single teaching text and reference Written in a concise style, accessible to both physicists and engineers Presents computation on an equal footing with analytic theory Emphasizes the underlying basic science for all of the material presented Dr. Edward Morse is Professor of Nuclear Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. He has authored over 140 publications in the areas of plasma physics, mathematics, fusion technology, lasers, microwave sources, neutron imaging, plasma diagnostics, and homeland security applications. For several years he operated the largest fusion neutron source in the US. Frequently consulted by the media to explain the underlying science and technology of nuclear energy policy and events, Dr. Morse is also a consultant and expert witness in applications of fusion neutrons to oil exploration |

| Title | Measurement of the Antineutrino Double-Differential Charged-Current Quasi-Elastic Scattering Cross Section at MINERvA |
| Author(s) | Patrick, Cheryl E |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XV, 341 p. 149 illus., 128 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis represents the first double differential measurement of quasi-elastic anti-neutrino scattering in the few GeV range--a region of substantial theoretical and experimental interest as it is the kinematic region where studies of charge-parity (CP) violation in the neutrino sector most require precise understanding of the differences between anti-neutrino and neutrino scatter. This dissertation also presents total antineutrino-scintillator quasi-elastic cross sections as a function of energy,??which is then compared to measurements from previous experiments.?? Next-generation neutrino oscillation experiments, such as DUNE and Hyper-Kamiokande,??hope to measure CP violation in the lepton sector. In order to do this,??they must dramatically reduce their current levels of uncertainty, particularly those due to neutrino-nucleus interaction models. As CP violation is a measure of the difference??between the oscillation properties of neutrinos and antineutrinos, data about how the??less-studied antineutrinos interact is especially valuable. The measurement described herewith determines the nuclear and instrumental effects that must be understood to undertake precision neutrino physics.??As well as being useful??to help reduce oscillation experiments' uncertainty, this data can also be used to study??the prevalence of various correlation and final-state interaction effects within the nucleus. In addition to being a substantial scientific advance, this thesis also serves as an outstanding introduction to the field of experimental neutrino physics for future students |

| Title | Search for the Decay K_L ??? ??^0\nu\bar{\nu} at the J-PARC KOTO Experiment |
| Author(s) | Nakagiri, Kota |
| Publication | Singapore, Springer Singapore, 2020. |
| Description | XVI, 151 p. 121 illus., 109 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book reports on a new result from the KL?????0???? search at the J-PARC KOTO experiment, which sets an upper limit of 3??10-9 for the branching fraction of the decay at the 90% confidence level, improving the previous best limit by an order of magnitude. To explain the matter???antimatter asymmetry in the universe, still unknown new physics beyond the standard model (SM) that breaks CP symmetry is necessary. The rare decay of a long-lived neutral K meson, KL?????0????, is a CP-violating decay. It is an excellent probe to search for new physics because new physics can contribute to the decay and change its branching fraction, while the SM is as small as 3??10-11. However, it is extremely difficult to search for because all of the decay products are neutral and two neutrinos are undetectable. The KL?????0???? signal is identified by measuring two photons from a ??0 with a calorimeter and confirming the absence of any other detectable particles with hermetic veto counters. The book contributes to the analysis of neutron-induced backgrounds which were the dominant background sources in the search. For the background caused by two consecutive hadronic showers in the calorimeter due to a neutron, the author evaluated the background yield using a data-driven approach. For another background caused by an ?? meson production????? decays two photons???by a neutron that hits a veto counter near the calorimeter, the author developed an original analysis technique to reduce it. The book also contributes to the analysis of the normalization modes (KL???3??0, KL???2??0, KL???2??) to measure KL yield, the estimation of the signal acceptance based on a simulation, and the evaluation of the trigger efficiency. As a result, significant improvements in the measurement were achieved, and this is an important step in the continuing higher sensitivity search, which can reach new physics with the energy scales up to O(100-1000 TeV) |

| Title | Functional Analysis and Optimization Methods in Hadron Physics |
| Author(s) | Caprini, Irinel |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | VIII, 130 p. 30 illus., 11 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book begins with a brief historical review of the early applications of standard dispersion relations in particle physics. It then presents the modern perspective within the Standard Model, emphasizing the relation of analyticity together with alternative tools applied to strong interactions, such as perturbative and lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD), as well as chiral perturbation theory. The core of the book argues that, in order to improve the prediction of specific hadronic observables, it is often necessary to resort to methods of complex analysis more sophisticated than the simple Cauchy integral. Accordingly, a separate mathematical chapter is devoted to solving several functional analysis optimization problems. Their applications to physical amplitudes and form factors are discussed in the following chapters, which also demonstrate how to merge the analytic approach with statistical analysis tools. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable guide for researchers working in precision hadronic physics, as well as graduate students who are new to the field |

| Title | The 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident : An Analysis from the Metre to the Nanometre Scale |
| Author(s) | Martin, Peter George |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XXIX, 326 p. 148 illus., 131 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This PhD sought to determine the mechanisms for the reactor explosions by mapping, collecting and analysing samples from across the area of Japan that received radioactive fallout from the explosions. In doing this, the author conducted significant fieldwork in the restricted-access fallout zone using ground and novel UAV-based mapping of radiation to identify hot-spot areas for sample collecting but also using these tools to verify the efficacy of the clean-up operations ongoing in the prefecture. Such fieldwork was both technically pioneering for its use of UAVs (drones) but also selfless in terms of bravely entering a nuclear danger area to collect samples for the greater benefit of the scientific community |
