| Title | Kappa Distributions : From Observational Evidences via Controversial Predictions to a Consistent Theory of Nonequilibrium Plasmas |
| Author(s) | Lazar, Marian;Fichtner, Horst |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2021. |
| Description | VII, 330 p. 112 illus., 93 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents recent results on the modelling of space plasmas with Kappa distributions and their interpretation. Hot and dilute space plasmas most often do not reach thermal equilibrium, their dynamics being essentially conditioned by the kinetic effects of plasma particles, i.e., electrons, protons, and heavier ions. Deviations from thermal equilibrium shown by these plasma particles are often described by Kappa distributions. Although well-known, these distributions are still controversial in achieving a statistical characterization and a physical interpretation of non-equilibrium plasmas. The results of the Kappa modelling presented here mark a significant progress with respect to all these aspects and open perspectives to understanding the high-resolution data collected by the new generation of telescopes and spacecraft missions. The book is directed to the large community of plasma astrophysics, including graduate students and specialists from associated disciplines, given the palette of the proposed topics reaching from applications to the solar atmosphere and the solar wind, via linear and quasilinear modelling of multi-species plasmas and waves within, to the fundamental physics of nonequilibrium plasmas |

| Title | Introduction to Gravitational Lensing : With Python Examples |
| Author(s) | Meneghetti, Massimo |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2021. |
| Description | XIII, 412 p. 131 illus., 120 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book introduces the phenomenology of gravitational lensing in an accessible manner and provides a thorough discussion of the related astrophysical applications. It is intended for advanced undergraduates and graduate students who want to start working in this rapidly evolving field. This includes also senior researchers who are interested in ongoing or future surveys and missions such as DES, Euclid, WFIRST, LSST. The reader is guided through many fascinating topics related to gravitational lensing like the structure of our galaxy, the searching for exoplanets, the investigation of dark matter in galaxies and galaxy clusters, and several aspects of cosmology, including dark energy and the cosmic microwave background. The author, who has gained valuable experience as academic teacher, guides the readers towards the comprehension of the theory of gravitational lensing and related observational techniques by using simple codes written in python. This approach, beyond facilitating the understanding of gravitational lensing, is preparatory for learning the python programming language which is gaining large popularity both in academia and in the private sector |

| Title | Study of Excess Electronic Recoil Events in XENON1T |
| Author(s) | Shockley, Evan |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2021. |
| Description | X, 119 p. 78 illus., 77 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis summarizes the original analysis work performed by the author on data from XENON1T, a search for dark matter with a ton-size noble liquid detector operated at Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory in Italy. The nature of dark matter is one of the most open and pressing questions of modern physics, and the unique data acquired with this detector allows the exploration and investigation of several potential scenarios. The analysis of Dr. Shockley searches for a class of elusive elementary particles that interact with the electrons of ordinary atoms, instead of the nucleus. Results of the analysis present, with high confidence, an excess with respect to the expected background. Beyond more mundane explanations, this additional rate of electron-mediated interactions might be a first hint of physics beyond the standard model. This accessible thesis provides details on the detector, the data, and the theory, delivering to the reader an in-depth and coherent picture of the search for physics beyond the standard model |

| Title | Hubble, Humason and the Big Bang : The Race to Uncover the Expanding Universe |
| Author(s) | Voller, Ron |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2021. |
| Description | XVII, 445 p. 59 illus., 9 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The story of Hubble and Humason is one for the ages???and in particular, the Cosmic Age. In this compelling book, science writer Ron Voller digs deep into how and why the two scientists continued to investigate their theory of universal expansion in the face of persistent doubt, contrary theories, and calamitous world events. The evolution of this dynamic duo???s tenuous friendship and professional partnership is in many ways as intriguing as their groundbreaking work on the evolution of the universe. The book therefore traces their lives from their childhoods into their burgeoning careers, revealing how a World War and their own personal differences stood in the way of initial cooperation. It then shows how despite all this, the two opposites eventually came together in the pursuit of something far greater than themselves. This grand story is inextricably interwoven with that of Albert Einstein, Willem de Sitter, and other great physicists of the era, all of whom took part in the staggering quest to make sense of the Big Bang and what followed. ???Edwin Hubble has often been considered as an island of sorts???a lone wolf of astronomy. But Voller???s book shows otherwise, as he examines Milt Humason???s essential contributions to our understanding of the expanding universe.??? - Daniel Lewis, Dibner Senior Curator, History of Science & Technology, The Huntington Library |

| Description | XI, 51 p. 19 illus., 11 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | In this essential, Claus Grupen discusses astroparticle physics in a brief historical outline and describes the latest results without going into mathematical detail. Understood as an introduction to this new field of research, it gives an overview of what is going on in the sky, between the stars and between the galaxies. Much is already well understood, but every time a solution is found, new questions arise - the author also addresses this spectrum of questions with a few answers. Today, astroparticle physics is an active, interdisciplinary research area that encompasses and unites astronomy, cosmic rays and elementary particle physics. This Springer essential is a translation of the original German 1st edition essentials, Neutrinos, Dunkle Materie und Co. by Claus Grupen, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2021.The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors The content Historical introduction to astroparticle physics Charged component of primary cosmic rays X-ray astronomy, gamma astronomy, neutrino astronomy Gravitational waves, cosmology, astrobiology The target groups Physics students Readers interested in modern astronomy and astrophysics The author Prof. Dr. Claus Grupen researches and teaches as emeritus at the University of Siegen.

| Title | High Energy Cosmic Rays |
| Author(s) | Stanev, Todor |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2021. |
| Description | XVI, 342 p. 162 illus., 20 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book on high-energy cosmic rays deals in its first part with the standard model of cosmic rays, describing how they are born in a wide range of cosmic processes, how they are accelerated and how they interact with matter, magnetic fields and radiation during their journey across the Galaxy. In its second part the book presents contemporary challenges in very high energy cosmic rays, with focus on their detection in the Earth???s atmosphere and underground, as well as new developments in gamma-ray and neutrino astronomy. A decade after the publication of the second edition of this book, there are many new experimental results in the fields of high energy neutrino astronomy and in the whole energy range of detection of gamma-rays. There have also been many attempts for studies for multi-messenger events in these and all other fields. These new experimental efforts and their results are covered in this third edition. This is accompanied by a general analysis of these new results and the additional knowledge that they bring to our understanding of cosmic rays and their propagation in our Galaxy and extragalactic space. A large part of the interpretation of these new findings is related to the development of the hadronic interaction models that we use to understand and describe the experimental results. The author describes the relation between the new high energy physics experiments and such models. In addition to the discussion of new research, descriptions and graphs of the previous edition have been updated where appropriate. The third edition ends with a discussion of some possible and already planned experiments for future observations and an explanation of their importance for the better understanding of all processes that lead to the increase of our knowledge of high energy cosmic rays. Students and lecturers of advanced undergraduate courses on cosmic rays and astroparticle physics as well as post-graduates and researchers will continue to find this book a valuable source of learning and reference |
