| Title | Searches for Dijet Resonances : Using ???s = 13 TeV Proton???Proton Collision Data Recorded by the ATLAS Detector at the Large Hadron Collider |
| Author(s) | Beresford, Lydia Audrey |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XIII, 169 p. 101 illus., 50 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book addresses one of the most intriguing mysteries of our universe: the nature of dark matter. The results presented here mark a significant and substantial contribution to the search for new physics, in particular for new particles that couple to dark matter. The first analysis presented is a search for heavy new particles that decay into pairs of hadronic jets (dijets). This pioneering analysis explores unprecedented dijet invariant masses, reaching nearly 7 TeV, and sets constraints on several important new physics models. The two subsequent analyses focus on the difficult low dijet mass region, down to 200 GeV, and employ a novel technique to efficiently gather low-mass dijet events. The results of these analyses transcend the long-standing constraints on dark matter mediator particles set by several existing experiments |

| Title | Nonlinear Adiabatic Evolution of Quantum Systems : Geometric Phase and Virtual Magnetic Monopole |
| Author(s) | Liu, Jie;Li, Sheng-Chang;Fu, Li-Bin;Ye, Di-Fa |
| Publication | Singapore, Springer Singapore, 2018. |
| Description | IX, 190 p. 60 illus., 22 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book systematically introduces the nonlinear adiabatic evolution theory of quantum many-body systems. The nonlinearity stems from a mean-field treatment of the interactions between particles, and the adiabatic dynamics of the system can be accurately described by the nonlinear Schr??dinger equation. The key points in this book include the adiabatic condition and adiabatic invariant for nonlinear system; the adiabatic nonlinear Berry phase; and the exotic virtual magnetic field, which gives the geometric meaning of the nonlinear Berry phase. From the quantum-classical correspondence, the linear and nonlinear comparison, and the single particle and interacting many-body difference perspectives, it shows a distinct picture of adiabatic evolution theory. It also demonstrates the applications of the nonlinear adiabatic evolution theory for various physical systems. Using simple models it illustrates the basic points of the theory, which are further employed for the solution of complex problems of quantum theory for many-particle systems. The results obtained are supplemented by numerical calculations, presented as tables and figures |

| Title | Progress in Nanophotonics 5 |
| Author(s) | Yatsui, Takashi |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XV, 205 p. 51 illus., 15 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents important topics in nanophotonics in review-style chapters written by world leading scientists. The book sketches the history of dressed photon science and technology and explains why advanced theories of dressed photons are required. To meet this requirement, the recent results of theoretical studies and the theory of dressed photons are displayed by modifying the conventional electromagnetic theory. The classical theoretical model of spatiotemporal vortex dynamics is explained by treating the dressed photon as a space-like virtual photon. Also discussed in the book is the energy transfer of dressed photons, based on a quantum walk model and a quantum mechanical measurement process of dressed photons for connecting the nano- and macro-systems. Dressed photons are explained as quantum fields by characterizing them in momentum space. |

| Title | Interplay of Quantum and Statistical Fluctuations in Critical Quantum Matter |
| Author(s) | Scammell, Harley |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XX, 165 p. 57 illus., 48 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book explores critical phenomena in highly correlated quantum matter. Specifically, quantum antiferromagnets, magnon Bose condensates, and systems exhibiting deconfined quantum criticality are considered. The book???s main achievement is the incorporation of both quantum and statistical fluctuations into a quantum field theoretic treatment of critical phenomena. This yields significant new insights into an abundance of problems, positions them in a much more general context, and offers an unprecedented power to analyze experimental and numerical data and predict new effects. Further, a major result and overarching theme is the exploration of the scale-dependent coupling constant ??? an effect known in quantum chromodynamics as ???asymptotic freedom.??? The book provides the first analysis to reveal asymptotic freedom in the quantum magnetism context, and discusses many other manifestations. Another significant result concerns the development of a consistent theoretical framework that resolves a long-standing inconsistency in the theory of Bose condensation. Using the approach developed here, two new universality classes are subsequently identified. A final major result addresses the exotic scenario of deconfined quantum criticality. Within this framework, the book predicts the Bose condensation of particles with half-integer spin ??? the first- ever made in this regard. In closing, a smoking gun criterion to test for this exotic condensate is established. |

| Title | Mathematical Modeling of Protein Complexes |
| Author(s) | Koshlan, Tatiana;Kulikov, Kirill |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XIV, 367 p. 65 illus., 48 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book is devoted to the physical and mathematical modeling of the formation of complexes of protein molecules. The models developed show remarkable sensitivity to the amino acid sequences of proteins, which facilitates experimental studies and allows one to reduce the associated costs by reducing the number of measurements required according to the developed criteria. These models make it possible to reach a conclusion about the interactions between different amino acid chains and to identify more stable sites on proteins. The models also take the phosphorylation of amino acid residues into account. At the end of the book, the authors present possible directions of application of their physical and mathematical models in clinical medicine |

| Title | Mathematical Modeling Through Topological Surgery and Applications |
| Author(s) | Antoniou, Stathis |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XVII, 85 p. 37 illus., 27 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Topological surgery is a mathematical technique used for creating new manifolds out of known ones. In this book the authors observe that it also occurs in natural phenomena of all scales: 1-dimensional surgery happens during DNA recombination and when cosmic magnetic lines reconnect; 2-dimensional surgery happens during tornado formation and cell mitosis; and they conjecture that 3-dimensional surgery happens during the formation of black holes from cosmic strings, offering an explanation for the existence of a black hole???s singularity. Inspired by such phenomena, the authors present a new topological model that extends the formal definition to a continuous process caused by local forces. Lastly, they describe an intrinsic connection between topological surgery and a chaotic dynamical system exhibiting a ???hole drilling??? behavior. The authors??? model indicates where to look for the forces causing surgery and what deformations should be observed in the local submanifolds involved. These predictions are significant for the study of phenomena exhibiting surgery and they also open new research directions. This novel study enables readers to gain a better understanding of the topology and dynamics of various natural phenomena, as well as topological surgery itself and serves as a basis for many more insightful observations and new physical implications |

| Title | Stargazing Under Suburban Skies : A Star-Hopper's Guide |
| Author(s) | Zack, Malcolm;Gannon, Andrew;McRoberts, John |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XIV, 401 p. 456 illus., 240 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Anyone interested in astronomy battles with the conveniences of modern living ??? street lights, advertising and security lighting, tall buildings, and even the occasional tree. More than 85% of the population now lives in crowded and light-polluted towns and cities. This book is for those who live in or near towns and cities and own relatively modest equipment, although observers with larger instruments will still find many of the target objects of interest. The book encourages the use of star-hopping techniques to find objects in the night sky. Included is a list of 100 popular deep sky objects, ranked according to how difficult they are to find. Each object is described and has companion star-hopping charts, images and sometimes sketches. As a result, readers can gain a sense of their own backyard view from Earth. There is also a top 30 list of lunar objects, a section on planetary observing, annotated lists of popular astronomy apps and software, and tips on how to make the most of your location. Stargazing Under Suburban Skies: A Star-Hopper???s Guide is the essential companion to what can be seen and how, regardless of the obstacles |

| Title | Photons : The History and Mental Models of Light Quanta |
| Author(s) | Hentschel, Klaus |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XIII, 231 p. 38 illus., 11 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book focuses on the gradual formation of the concept of ???light quanta??? or ???photons???, as they have usually been called in English since 1926. The great number of synonyms that have been used by physicists to denote this concept indicates that there are many different mental models of what ???light quanta??? are: simply finite, ???quantized packages of energy??? or ???bullets of light???? ???Atoms of light??? or ???molecules of light???? ???Light corpuscles??? or ???quantized waves???? Singularities of the field or spatially extended structures able to interfere? ???Photons??? in G.N. Lewis???s sense, or as defined by QED, i.e. virtual exchange particles transmitting the electromagnetic force? The term ???light quantum??? made its first appearance in Albert Einstein???s 1905 paper on a ???heuristic point of view??? to cope with the photoelectric effect and other forms of interaction of light and matter, but the mental model associated with it has a rich history both before and after 1905. Some of its semantic layers go as far back as Newton and Kepler, some are only fully expressed several decades later, while others initially increased in importance then diminished and finally vanished. In conjunction with these various terms, several mental models of light quanta were developed???six of them are explored more closely in this book. It discusses two historiographic approaches to the problem of concept formation: (a) the author???s own model of conceptual development as a series of semantic accretions and (b) Mark Turner???s model of ???conceptual blending???. Both of these models are shown to be useful and should be explored further. This is the first historiographically sophisticated history of the fully fledged concept and all of its twelve semantic layers. It systematically combines the history of science with the history of terms and a philosophically inspired history of ideas in conjunction with insights from cognitive science |

| Title | Topological Quantum Matter : A Field Theoretical Perspective |
| Author(s) | Klein Kvorning, Thomas |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | X, 81 p. 24 illus., 6 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book offers a theoretical description of topological matter in terms of effective field theories, and in particular topological field theories, focusing on two main topics: topological superconductors and topological insulators. Even though there is vast literature on these subjects, the book fills an important gap by providing a concise introduction to both topological order and symmetry-protected phases using a modern mathematical language, and developing the theoretical concepts by highlighting the physics and the physical properties of the systems. Further, it discusses in detail the topological interactions for topologically ordered matter, and the response to smooth external fields for symmetry protected matter. The book also covers more specialized topics that cannot be found elsewhere. Specifically, the response of superconductors to geometry, including the newly discovered geo-Meissner effect; and a correction to the usual Meissner effect, only present in the topologically interesting chiral superconductors. |
