| Title | Beyond ??CDM : Exploring Alternatives to the Standard Cosmological Paradigm |
| Author(s) | Bose, Sownak |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XXXIV, 181 p. 49 illus., 31 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book employs computer simulations of ???artificial??? Universes to investigate the properties of two popular alternatives to the standard candidates for dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE). It confronts the predictions of theoretical models with observations using a sophisticated semi-analytic model of galaxy formation. Understanding the nature of dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE) are two of the most central problems in modern cosmology. While their important role in the evolution of the Universe has been well established???namely, that DM serves as the building blocks of galaxies, and that DE accelerates the expansion of the Universe???their true nature remains elusive. In the first half, the authors consider ???sterile neutrino??? DM, motivated by recent claims that these particles may have finally been detected. Using sophisticated models of galaxy formation, the authors find that future observations of the high redshift Universe and faint dwarf galaxies in the Local Group can place strong constraints on the sterile neutrino scenario. In the second half, the authors propose and test novel numerical algorithms for simulating Universes with a ???modified??? theory of gravity, as an alternative explanation to accelerated expansion. The authors??? techniques improve the efficiency of these simulations by more than a factor of 20 compared to previous methods, inviting the readers into a new era for precision cosmological tests of gravity |

| Title | Quantum Chromodynamics Sum Rules |
| Author(s) | Dominguez, Cesareo A |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XII, 113 p. 26 illus., 8 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This concise book provides the necessary background to allow interested readers to launch original research projects on the subject matter. Currently, this material is not available from one single source, and is either spread out over numerous journal publications, or covered in long and technical monographs. At the core of this book lies the sum rule approach to obtain analytic results in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the current theory of strong interactions among quarks and gluons. This method fully complements Lattice QCD, the corresponding computational approach based on discretizing QCD on a space-time lattice. Applications include standard determinations of hadronic particle properties with extensions to finite temperature and density, and possibly involving the presence of extreme magnetic fields. The latter cases include stellar objects (e.g. neutron stars and magnetars) as well as high-energy proton???proton and heavy-ion collisions. Further topics concern the determination of the fundamental parameters of QCD, e.g. quark masses and the quark???gluon couplings, the hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, and electromagnetic coupling at the the W-boson mass scale |

| Title | Statistical Benchmarks for Quantum Transport in Complex Systems : From Characterisation to Design |
| Author(s) | Walschaers, Mattia |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XX, 450 p. 80 illus., 17 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book introduces a variety of statistical tools for characterising and designing the dynamical features of complex quantum systems. These tools are applied in the contexts of energy transfer in photosynthesis, and boson sampling. In dynamical quantum systems, complexity typically manifests itself via the interference of a rapidly growing number of paths that connect the initial and final states. The book presents the language of graphs and networks, providing a useful framework to discuss such scenarios and explore the rich phenomenology of transport phenomena. As the complexity increases, deterministic approaches rapidly become intractable, which leaves statistics as a viable alternative |

| Title | Spinning Strings and Correlation Functions in the AdS/CFT Correspondence |
| Author(s) | Nieto, Juan Miguel |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XIII, 187 p. 6 illus., 1 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book addresses several aspects of the integrable structure of the AdS/CFT correspondence. In particular it presents computations made on both sides of the AdS/CFT correspondence, at weak and at strong coupling. On the string theory side of the correspondence, the book focuses on the evaluation of the energy spectrum of closed string solutions moving in some deformed backgrounds that preserve integrability. On the gauge theory side, it explores various formal problems arising in the computation of two and three-point functions by means of the Algebraic Bethe Ansatz and the Quantum Inverse Scattering method. The book features numerous results on integrability in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Self-contained and pedagogical, it includes general discussions and detailed presentations on the use of integrable systems techniques and their applications |

| Title | Exomoons to Galactic Structure : High Precision Studies with the Microlensing and Transit Methods |
| Author(s) | Awiphan, Supachai |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XXVI, 187 p. 72 illus., 54 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents three major studies covering exomoon and exoplanet detection and characterisation. Firstly, it reports the observations and analysis of the atmosphere of the hot Neptune GJ3470b, one of the lowest-mass planets with a measured atmosphere, using transmission spectroscopy techniques. The result provided improved measurements of Rayleigh scattering in the atmosphere and the first limits on additional planetary companions in the system. The second part discusses modeling a Kepler-like satellite???s ability of a to detect exomoons by looking for transit timing variations and transit duration variations, demonstrating how exomoons can unambiguously be identified from such data.Lastly, the book examines the development of a state-of-the-art Galactic microlensing simulator, which has been made publicly available. It was used to compare with the largest published sample of microlensing events from the MOA-II survey |

| Title | Advanced Undergraduate Quantum Mechanics : Methods and Applications |
| Author(s) | Deych, Lev I |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XIX, 610 p. 50 illus., 26 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This introduction to quantum mechanics is intended for undergraduate students of physics, chemistry, and engineering with some previous exposure to quantum ideas. Following in Heisenberg???s and Dirac???s footsteps, this book is centered on the concept of the quantum state as an embodiment of all experimentally available information about a system, and its representation as a vector in an abstract Hilbert space. This conceptual framework and formalism are introduced immediately, and developed throughout the first four chapters, while the standard Schr??dinger equation does not appear until Chapter 5. The book grew out of lecture notes developed by the author over fifteen years of teaching at the undergraduate level. In response to numerous requests by students, material is presented with an unprecedented level of detail in both derivation of technical results and discussion of their physical significance.?? The book is written for students to enjoy reading it, rather than to use only as a source of formulas and examples. The colloquial and personal writing style makes it easier for readers to connect with the material. Additionally, readers will find short, relatable snippets about the ???founding fathers??? of quantum theory, their difficult historical circumstances, personal failings and triumphs, and often tragic fate. This textbook, complete with extensive original end-of-chapter exercises, is recommended for use in one- or two-semester courses for upper level undergraduate and beginning graduate students in physics, chemistry, or engineering |

| Title | Blast Effects : Physical Properties of Shock Waves |
| Author(s) | Sochet, Isabelle |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | X, 197 p. 91 illus., 23 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book compiles a variety of experimental data on blast waves. The book begins with an introductory chapter and proceeds to the topic of blast wave phenomenology, with a discussion Rankine-Hugoniot equations and the Friedlander equation, used to describe the pressure-time history of a blast wave. Additional topics include arrival time measurement, the initiation of detonation by exploding wires, a discussion of TNT equivalency, and small scale experiments. Gaseous and high explosive detonations are covered as well. The topics and experiments covered were chosen based on the comparison of used scale sizes, from small to large. Each characteristic parameter of blast waves is analyzed and expressed versus scaled distance in terms of energy and mass. Finally, the appendix compiles a number of polynomial laws that will prove indispensable for engineers and researchers |
