| Title | Cosmological Implications of Quantum Anomalies |
| Author(s) | Barrie, Neil David |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XIII, 140 p. 14 illus., 11 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The successes of the standard models of particle physics and cosmology are many, but have proven incapable of explaining all the phenomena that we observe. This book investigates the potentially important role of quantum physics, particularly quantum anomalies, in various aspects of modern cosmology, such as inflation, the dynamical generation of the visible and dark matter in the universe, and gravitational waves. By doing so, the authors demonstrate that exploring the links between cosmology and particle physics is key to helping solve the mysteries of our Universe |

| Title | Cosmology for the Curious |
| Author(s) | Perlov, Delia;Vilenkin, Alex |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. |
| Description | XIV, 372 p. 202 illus., 63 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book is an introductory text for all those wishing to learn about modern views of the cosmos. Our universe originated in a great explosion ??? the big bang. For nearly a century cosmologists have studied the aftermath of this explosion: how the universe expanded and cooled down, and how galaxies were gradually assembled by gravity. The nature of the bang itself has come into focus only relatively recently. It is the subject of the theory of cosmic inflation, which was developed in the last few decades and has led to a radically new global view of the universe. Students and other interested readers will find here a non-technical but conceptually rigorous account of modern cosmological ideas - describing what we know, and how we know it. One of the book's central themes is the scientific quest to find answers to the ultimate cosmic questions: Is the universe finite or infinite? Has it existed forever? If not, when and how did it come into being? Will it ever end? The book is based on the undergraduate course taught by Alex Vilenkin at Tufts University. It assumes no prior knowledge of physics or mathematics beyond elementary high school math. The necessary physics background is introduced as it is required. Each chapter includes a list of questions and exercises of varying degree of difficulty. |

| Title | A Microscopic Theory of Fission Dynamics Based on the Generator Coordinate Method |
| Author(s) | Younes, Walid;Gogny, Daniel Marc;Berger, Jean-Fran??ois |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XVI, 326 p. 26 illus., 21 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book introduces a quantum-mechanical description of the nuclear fission process from an initial compound state to scission. Issues like the relevant degrees of freedom throughout the process, the way of coupling collective and intrinsic degrees during the fission process, and how a nucleus divides into two separate daughters in a quantum-mechanical description where its wave function can be non-local, are currently being investigated through a variety of theoretical, computational, and experimental techniques. The term ???microscopic??? in this context refers to an approach that starts from protons, neutrons, and an effective (i.e., in-medium) interaction between them. The form of this interaction is inspired by more fundamental theories of nuclear matter, but still contains parameters that have to be adjusted to data. Thus, this microscopic approach is far from complete, but sufficient progress has been made to warrant taking stock of what has been accomplished so far. The aim is to provide, in a pedagogical and comprehensive manner, one specific approach to the fission problem, originally developed at the CEA Bruy??res-le-Ch??tel Laboratory in France. Intended as a reference for advanced graduate students and researchers in fission theory as well as for practitioners in the field, it includes illustrative examples throughout the text to make it easier for the reader to understand, implement, and verify the formalism presented |

| Title | Skyrmions in Magnetic Materials |
| Author(s) | Seki, Shinichiro;Mochizuki, Masahito |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. |
| Description | V, 69 p. 30 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This brief reviews current research on magnetic skyrmions, with emphasis on formation mechanisms, observation techniques, and materials design strategies. The response of skyrmions, both static and dynamical, to various electromagnetic fields is also covered in detail. Recent progress in magnetic imaging techniques has enabled the observation of skyrmions in real space, as well as the analysis of their ordering manner and the details of their internal structure. In metallic systems, conduction electrons moving through the skyrmion spin texture gain a nontrivial quantum Berry phase, which provides topological force to the underlying spin texture and enables the current-induced manipulation of magnetic skyrmions. On the other hand, skyrmions in an insulator can induce electric polarization through relativistic spin-orbit interaction, paving the way for the control of skyrmions by an external electric field without loss of Joule heating. Because of its nanometric scale, particle nature, and electric controllability, skyrmions are considered as potential candidates for new information carriers in the next generation of spintronics devices |

| Title | Introduction to Nuclear and Particle Physics |
| Author(s) | D'Auria, Saverio |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XII, 192 p. 113 illus., 80 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This textbook fills the gap between the very basic and the highly advanced volumes that are widely available on the subject. It offers a concise but comprehensive overview of a number of topics, like general relativity, fission and fusion, which are otherwise only available with much more detail in other textbooks. Providing a general introduction to the underlying concepts (relativity, fission and fusion, fundamental forces), it allows readers to develop an idea of what these two research fields really involve. The book uses real-world examples to make the subject more attractive and encourage the use of mathematical formulae. Besides short scientists' biographies, diagrams, end-of-chapter problems and worked solutions are also included. Intended mainly for students of scientific disciplines such as physics and chemistry who want to learn about the subject and/or the related techniques, it is also useful to high school teachers wanting to refresh or update their knowledge and to interested non-experts |

| Title | Finite Mathematics as the Foundation of Classical Mathematics and Quantum Theory : With Applications to Gravity and Particle Theory |
| Author(s) | Lev, Felix |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2020. |
| Description | XVII, 291 p. 4 illus., 1 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book delves into finite mathematics and its application in physics, particularly quantum theory. It is shown that quantum theory based on finite mathematics is more general than standard quantum theory, whilst finite mathematics is itself more general than standard mathematics.As a consequence, the mathematics describing nature at the most fundamental level involves only a finite number of numbers while the notions of limit, infinite/infinitesimal and continuity are needed only in calculations that describe nature approximately. It is also shown that the concepts of particle and antiparticle are likewise approximate notions, valid only in special situations, and that the electric charge and baryon- and lepton quantum numbers can be only approximately conserved |

| Title | Studies of Proton Driven Plasma Wake???eld Acceleration |
| Author(s) | Li, Yangmei |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2020. |
| Description | XX, 125 p. 50 illus., 42 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis focuses on a cutting-edge area of research, which is aligned with CERN's mainstream research, the "AWAKE" project, dedicated to proving the capability of accelerating particles to the energy frontier by the high energy proton beam. The author participated in this project and has advanced the plasma wakefield theory and modelling significantly, especially concerning future plasma acceleration based collider design. The thesis addresses electron beam acceleration to high energy whilst preserving its high quality driven by a single short proton bunch in hollow plasma. It also demonstrates stable deceleration of multiple proton bunches in a nonlinear regime with strong resonant wakefield excitation in hollow plasma, and generation of high energy and high quality electron or positron bunches. Further work includes the assessment of transverse instabilities induced by misaligned beams in hollow plasma and enhancement of the wakefield amplitude driven by a self-modulated long proton bunch with a tapered plasma. This work has major potential to impact the next generation of linear colliders and also in the long-term may help develop compact accelerators for use in industrial and medical facilities |

| Title | The Weierstrass Elliptic Function and Applications in Classical and Quantum Mechanics : A Primer for Advanced Undergraduates |
| Author(s) | Pastras, Georgios |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2020. |
| Description | XIII, 111 p. 14 illus., 13 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The field of elliptic functions, apart from its own mathematical beauty, has many applications in physics in a variety of topics, such as string theory or integrable systems. This book, which focuses on the Weierstrass theory of elliptic functions, aims at senior undergraduate and junior graduate students in physics or applied mathematics. Supplemented by problems and solutions, it provides a fast, but thorough introduction to the mathematical theory and presents some important applications in classical and quantum mechanics. Elementary applications, such as the simple pendulum, help the readers develop physical intuition on the behavior of the Weierstrass elliptic and related functions, whereas more Interesting and advanced examples, like the n=1 Lam?? problem-a periodic potential with an exactly solvable band structure, are also presented |

| Title | Scientific Papers of Ettore Majorana : A New Expanded Edition |
| Author(s) | Cifarelli, Luisa |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2020. |
| Description | X, 188 p. 26 illus., 12 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents in full the work of the Italian theoretical physicist Ettore Majorana and explains its impacts, which are still being felt. It opens with a contribution by A. Zichichi that considers in depth the scientific genius of Majorana. This introductory chapter is followed, in chronological order, by the eleven scientific papers by this great scientist, in most cases translated into English for the first time. Each paper is accompanied by a comment from an expert in the field in question. Although very few in number, Majorana's papers constitute a heritage of undeniable value and extraordinary scientific meaning, since they laid the foundations for research fields that remain topical today. With this in mind, two additional contributions on ongoing developments in these research fields are included: one on neutrino physics and the other on Majorana fermions in condensed matter. The volume closes with a note on Majorana's life until his ill-fated disappearance |
