	Electrons in Solids Richard A. Dunlap The transport of electric charge through most materials is well described in terms of their electronic band structure. The present book deals with two cases where the charge transport in a solid is not described by the simple band structure picture o… Publication Date: October, 2019 Read More
	The Physics of Emergence Robert C. Bishop A standard view of elementary particles and forces is that they determine everything else in the rest of physics, the whole of chemistry, biology, geology, physiology and perhaps even human behavior. This reductive view of physics is popular among so… Publication Date: June, 2019 Read More
	B Factories Bostjan Golob B Factories are particle colliders at which specific subatomic particles – B mesons – are produced abundantly. The purpose is to study the properties of their decays in great detail in order to shed light on a mystery of eminently large… Publication Date: April, 2019 Read More
	Magnetically Confined Fusion Plasma Physics Linjin Zheng This book describes the ideal magnetohydrodynamic theory for magnetically conned fusion plasmas. Advanced topics are presented in attempting to fill the gap between the up-to-date research developments and plasma physics textbooks. Nevertheless, they… Publication Date: February, 2019 Read More
	Particle Physics Richard A. Dunlap Our understanding of subatomic particles developed over many years, although a clear picture of the different particles, their interactions and their inter-relationships only emerged in the latter part of the twentieth century. The first “subatomic … Publication Date: December, 2018 Read More
	International Linear Collider (ILC) Alexey Drutskoy The International Linear Collider (ILC) is a mega-scale, technically complex project, requiring large financial resources and cooperation of thousands of scientists and engineers from all over the world. Such a big and expensive project has to be dis… Publication Date: November, 2018 Read More
	A Practical Introduction to Beam Physics and Particle Accelerators, Second Edition Santiago Bernal This book provides a brief exposition of the principles of beam physics and particle accelerators with an emphasis on numerical examples employing readily available computer tools. However, it avoids detailed derivations, instead inviting the reader … Read More
	Causality Rules Vladimir Pascalutsa Scattering of light by light is a fundamental process arising at the quantum level through vacuum fluctuations. This short book will explain how, remarkably enough, this quantum process can entirely be described in terms classical quantities. This de… Publication Date: July, 2018 Read More
	Introduction to Beam Dynamics in High-Energy Electron Storage Rings Andrzej Wolski Electron storage rings play a crucial role in many areas of modern scientific research. In light sources, they provide intense beams of x-rays that can be used to understand the structure and behavior of materials at the atomic scale, with applicati… Publication Date: June, 2018 Read More
	Relativistic Many-Body Theory and Statistical Mechanics Lawrence P. Horwitz, Rafael I. Arshansky In 1941, E.C.G. Stueckelberg wrote a paper, based on ideas of V. Fock, that established the foundations of a theory that could covariantly describe the classical and quantum relativistic mechanics of a single particle. Horwitz and Piron extended the … Publication Date: May, 2018 Read More
	Halo Nuclei Jim Al-Khalili OBE While neutron halos were discovered 30 years ago, this is the first book written on the subject of this exotic form of nuclei that typically contain many more neutrons than stable isotopes of those elements. It provides an introductory description o… Publication Date: November, 2017 Read More
	The Electric Dipole Moment Challenge Richard Talman With the Higgs particle just confirmed, a remaining blemish of the standard model of elementary particle physics is the excess of particles over antiparticles in the present-day universe, which could be due the existence of symmetry violation much gr… Publication Date: May, 2017 Read More
	A Pedagogical Introduction to Electroweak Baryogenesis Graham Albert White This is an in depth look at baryon number violation in the Standard Model including the necessary background in finite temperature field theory, plasma dynamics and how to calculate the out of equilibrium evolution of particle number densities throug… Publication Date: December, 2016 Read More
	Synchrotron Radiation Jan-Erik Rubensson Synchrotron radiation is the name given to the radiation which occurs when charged particles are accelerated in a curved path or orbit.
