| Title | Hadron Structure in Electroweak Precision Measurements |
| Author(s) | Hall, Nathan L |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. |
| Description | XIV, 120 p. 47 illus., 29 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis examines the ??Z box contribution to the weak charge of the proton. Here, by combining recent parity-violating electron-deuteron scattering data with our current understanding of parton distribution functions, the author shows that one can limit this model dependence. The resulting construction is a robust model of the ???? and ??Z structure functions that can also be used to study a variety of low-energy phenomena. Two such cases are discussed in this work, namely, the nucleon???s electromagnetic polarizabilities and quark-hadron duality.?????????????? ?? By using phenomenological information to constrain the input structure functions, this important but previously poorly understood radiative correction is determined at the kinematics of the parity-violating experiment, QWEAK, to a degree of precision more than twice that of the previous best estimate. ?? A detailed investigation into available parametrizations of the electromagnetic and interference cross-sections indicates that earlier analyses suffered from the inability to correctly quantify their model dependence |

| Title | Introductory Quantum Mechanics : A Traditional Approach Emphasizing Connections with Classical Physics |
| Author(s) | Berman, Paul R |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XVI, 637 p. 101 illus., 82 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents a basic introduction to quantum mechanics at the undergraduate level. Depending on the choice of topics, it can be used for a one-semester or two-semester course. An attempt has been made to anticipate the conceptual problems students encounter when they first study quantum mechanics. Wherever possible, examples are given to illustrate the underlying physics associated with the mathematical equations of quantum mechanics. To this end, connections are made with corresponding phenomena in classical mechanics and electromagnetism. The problems at the end of each chapter are intended to help students master the course material and to explore more advanced topics. Many calculations exploit the extraordinary capabilities of computer programs such as Mathematica, MatLab, and Maple. Students are urged to use these programs, just as they had been urged to use calculators in the past. The treatment of various topics is rather complete, in that most steps in derivations are included. Several of the chapters go beyond what is traditionally covered in an introductory course. The goal of the presentation is to provide the students with a solid background in quantum mechanics. |

| Title | The Dark Arrow of Time : A Scientific Novel |
| Author(s) | Villata, Massimo |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. |
| Description | V, 163 p. 1 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This riveting scientific novel combines adventure, love, suspense, magic, pathos, and mystery in a carefully woven plot that is full of unexpected twists and turns. The author is an astrophysicist who has developed an alternative theory, which holds that traveling in time is possible. Time is, in fact, the real protagonist of the novel and of the intrigue surrounding the attempt to seize the secret of Time???s other arrow, the dark arrow normally hidden from us, which points back at our past. The underlying premise is that antimatter is nothing more than common matter moving backwards in time. The justification for this interpretation has been with us for some time, ???hiding in plain sight??? within Maxwell???s equations, the Lorentz transformations, the CPT theorem of relativistic quantum mechanics, and Feynman diagrams. While the science underlying the narrative is explained whenever necessary, sometimes with the aid of simple mathematical formulas, these scientific asides account for only a small part of the book, which will appeal to a wide audience, including readers who are far from being science buffs |

| Title | Searching for New Physics in b ??? s???+?????? Transitions at the LHCb Experiment |
| Author(s) | Pescatore, Luca |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. |
| Description | XVI, 200 p. 127 illus., 73 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis presents two analyses of semileptonic b ??? sl+l??? decays using Flavour Changing Neutral Currents (FCNCs) to test for the presence of new physics and lepton ???avour universality, and the equality of couplings for different leptons, which on the basis of experimental evidence is assumed to hold in the Standard Model, free from uncertainties as a result of knowledge of the hadronic matrix elements. It also includes the angular analysis of Lambda_b->Lambda mumu decay and the RK* measurement, both of which are first measurements, not yet performed by any other experiment |

| Title | From Quarks to the Universe : A Short Physics Course |
| Author(s) | Economou, Eleftherios N |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. |
| Description | XVIII, 326 p. 92 illus., 9 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book takes the reader for a short journey over the structures of matter showing that their main properties can be obtained even at a quantitative level with a minimum background knowledge including, besides first year calculus and physics, the extensive use of dimensional analysis and the three cornerstones of science, namely the atomic idea, the wave-particle duality and the minimization of energy as the condition for equilibrium. Dimensional analysis employing the universal physical constants and combined with ???a little imagination and thinking???, to quote Feynman, allow an amazing short-cut derivation of several quantitative results concerning the structures of matter. In the current 2nd edition, new material and more explanations with more detailed derivations were added to make the book more student-friendly. Many multiple-choice questions with the correct answers at the end of the book, solved and unsolved problems make the book also suitable as a textbook. This book is of interest to students of physics, engineering and other science and to researchers in physics, material science, chemistry and engineering who may find stimulating the alternative derivation of several real world results which sometimes seem to pop out the magician???s hat |

| Title | Measurement of the D0 Meson Production in Pb???Pb and p???Pb Collisions : A Study Performed with the ALICE Experiment at the LHC |
| Author(s) | Festanti, Andrea |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. |
| Description | XVII, 174 p. 113 illus., 39 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis presents the first measurement of charmed D0 meson production relative to the reaction plane in Pb???Pb collisions at the center-of-mass energy per nucleon-nucleon collision of ???sNN = 2.76 TeV. It also showcases the measurement of the D0 production in p???Pb collisions at ???sNN = 5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The measurement of the D0 azimuthal anisotropy with respect to the reaction plane indicates that low- momentum charm quarks participate in the collective expansion of the high-density, strongly interacting medium formed in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, despite their large mass. This behavior can be explained by charm hadronization via recombination with light quarks from the medium and collisional energy loss. The measurement of the D0 production in p???Pb collisions is crucial to separate the effect induced by cold nuclear matter from the final- state effects induced by the hot medium formed in Pb???Pb collisions. The D0 production in p???Pb collisions is consistent with the binary collision scaling of the production in pp collisions, demonstrating that the modification of the momentum distribution observed in Pb???Pb collisions with respect to pp is predominantly induced by final-state effects such as the charm energy loss |

| Title | First Search for the EMC Effect and Nuclear Shadowing in Neutrino Nuclear Deep Inelastic Scattering at MINERvA |
| Author(s) | Mousseau, Joel Allen |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. |
| Description | XVI, 147 p. 32 illus., 23 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis details significant improvements in the understanding of the nuclear EMC effect and nuclear shadowing in neutrino physics, and makes substantial comparisons with electron scattering physics. Specifically, it includes a world's first systematic study of the EMC ratios of carbon, iron and lead to plastic scintillator of neutrinos. The analysis presented provides the best evidence to date that the EMC effect is similar between electrons and neutrinos within the sensitivity of the data. Nuclear shadowing is measured systematically for the first time with neutrinos. In contrast with the data on the EMC effect, the data on nuclear shadowing support the conclusion that nuclear shadowing may be stronger for neutrinos than it is for electrons. This conclusion points to interesting new nuclear physics |

| Title | Dark Energy and the Formation of the Large Scale Structure of the Universe |
| Author(s) | Gleyzes, J??r??me |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. |
| Description | XV, 113 p. 19 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis presents several significant new results that shed light on two major puzzles of modern cosmology: the nature of inflation, the very early phase of the universe that is thought to have given rise to the large-scale structures that we observe today; and that of the current accelerated expansion. In particular, it develops a clean method for characterizing linear cosmological perturbations for general theories where gravity is modified and/or affected by a new component, called dark energy, responsible for the accelerated expansion. It proposes a new extension to what were long thought to be the most general scalar field theories devoid of instabilities, and demonstrates the robustness of the relation between the energy scale of inflation and the predicted amplitude of gravitational waves. Finally, it consolidates a set of consistency relations between correlation functions of the cosmological density field and investigates the phenomenological consequences of their potential violation. Presented in a clear, succinct and rigorous style, each of these original results is both profound and important and will leave a deep mark on the field |

| Title | Lepton Flavor Violation from Low Scale Seesaw Neutrinos with Masses Reachable at the LHC |
| Author(s) | Marcano, Xabier |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XVI, 162 p. 50 illus., 37 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Flavor physics is fundamental to testing the standard model of particle physics and could be the key to discovering new physics. This book explores lepton flavor violating implications in the low-scale seesaw models, a well-motivated scenario for explaining the still open problem of neutrino mass generation. It studies the lepton flavor violating Higgs decays in depth, developing useful simple expressions for making fast estimations of this observable. It also introduces a new parametrization optimized for the study of lepton flavor violation in these models, showing that high rates could be obtained for Higgs and Z decays if these new heavy neutrinos have masses in the TeV range. Lastly, It goes on to explore the possibility of their production and decay at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to events with two charged leptons of different flavor |
