Dai monaci zen ai coloratissimi quarks, passando per immense macchine atte allo studio dell’infinitamente piccolo, in questo single e-book Guido Cossu, ricercatore del KEK a Tsukuba in Giappone, ripercorre la recente storia della fisica per spiegare cosa c’è dietro all’eccitazione di un’intera...
Ultimate Horizons
Probing the Limits of the Universe
Language: English
Release Date: February 4, 2014
In the last hundred years, modern physics and cosmology have shown that there exist regions of the universe forever beyond our reach, hidden by truly ultimate horizons. Such regions exist in those remote parts of the universe where, from our point of view, space expands faster than the speed of light....

Solar Energetic Particles
A Modern Primer on Understanding Sources, Acceleration and Propagation
Language: English
Release Date: March 10, 2017
This concise primer introduces the non-specialist reader to the physics of solar energetic particles (SEP) and systematically reviews the evidence for the two main mechanisms which lead to the so-called impulsive and gradual SEP events.
More specifically, the timing of the onsets, the longitude...

My Life with Enrico Fermi
Language: English
Release Date: October 24, 2014
In this absorbing account of life with the great atomic scientist Enrico Fermi, Laura Fermi tells the story of their emigration to the United States in the 1930s—part of the widespread movement of scientists from Europe to the New World that was so important to the development of the first atomic...
Renormalization Group and Fixed Points
in Quantum Field Theory
Language: English
Release Date: March 28, 2013
This Brief presents an introduction to the theory of the renormalization group in the context of quantum field theories of relevance to particle physics. Emphasis is placed on gaining a physical understanding of the running of the couplings. The Wilsonian version of the renormalization group is related...
Dense Matter in Compact Stars
A Pedagogical Introduction
Language: English
Release Date: August 25, 2010
The purpose and motivation of these lectures can be summarized in the following two questions: • What is the ground state (and its properties) of dense matter? • What is the matter composition of a compact star? The two questions are, of course, strongly coupled to each other. Depending on your...
