  • How Birds Find Their Way

    Avian Orientation and Navigation

    by Helmut Satz ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book describes our current understanding of the navigation of birds, their methods, capabilities, and achievements. Our knowledge of this field has progressed immensely in the last fifty years, due to the availability of miniaturized tracking and positioning devices, which now allow us to know when and where a specific bird is located and where it is flying. The book is written for a general ... Read more

  • The Rules of the Flock

    Self-Organization and Swarm Structure in Animal Societies

    by Helmut Satz ...
    Flocks of birds, schools of fish and swarms of locusts display amazing forms of collective motion, while huge numbers of glow worms can emit light signals with almost unbelievable synchronization. These and many other collective phenomena in animal societies take place according to laws very similar to those governing the collective behavior in the inanimate nature, such as the magnetization of ...

  • Before Time Began

    The Big Bang and the Emerging Universe

    by Helmut Satz ...
    What is the origin of the universe? What was there before the universe appeared? We are currently witnessing a second Copernican revolution: neither our Earth and Sun, nor our galaxy, nor even our universe, are the end of all things. Beyond our world, in an endless multiverse, are innumerable other universes, coming and going, like ours or different. Fourteen billion years ago, one of the many ... Read more

  • Ultimate Horizons

    Probing the Limits of the Universe

    by Helmut Satz ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    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. They are found in black holes, where the gravity is strong enough to retain even light within its ... Read more

  • Extreme States of Matter in Strong Interaction Physics

    An Introduction

    by Helmut Satz ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book is a course-tested primer on the thermodynamics of strongly interacting matter – a profound and challenging area of both theoretical and experimental modern physics. Analytical and numerical studies of statistical quantum chromodynamics provide the main theoretical tool, while in experiments, high-energy nuclear collisions are the key for extensive laboratory investigations. As such, the ... Read more

  • An Advanced Course in Computational Nuclear Physics

    Bridging the Scales from Quarks to Neutron Stars

    Edited by Morten Hjorth-Jensen, Maria Paola Lombardo, Ubirajara van Kolck ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This graduate-level text collects and synthesizes a series of ten lectures on the nuclear quantum many-body problem. Starting from our current understanding of the underlying forces, it presents recent advances within the field of lattice quantum chromodynamics before going on to discuss effective field theories, central many-body methods like Monte Carlo methods, coupled cluster theories, the ...

  • From Quarks to the Universe

    A Short Physics Course

    by Eleftherios N. Economou ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    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 ...

  • Scattering and Structures

    Essentials and Analogies in Quantum Physics

    by Bogdan Povh, Mitja Rosina ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Quantum physics may appear complicated, especially if one forgets the "big picture" and gets lost in the details. However, it can become clearer and less tangled if one applies a few fundamental concepts so that simplified approaches can emerge and estimated orders of magnitude become clear. Povh and Rosina’s Scattering and Structures presents the properties of quantum systems (elementary ... Read more

  • Quantum Statistics of Dense Gases and Nonideal Plasmas

    by Werner Ebeling, Vladimir E. Fortov, Vladimir Filinov ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The aim of this book is the pedagogical exploration of the basic principles of quantum-statistical thermodynamics as applied to various states of matter – ranging from rare gases to astrophysical matter with high-energy density. The reader will learn in this work that thermodynamics and quantum statistics are still the concepts on which even the most advanced research is operating - despite of a ... Read more

  • Dense Matter in Compact Stars

    A Pedagogical Introduction

    by Andreas Schmitt ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    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 point of view, you can either consider the ?rst as the main question and the second as a consequence or ...

  • Manifestations of Dark Matter and Variations of the Fundamental Constants in Atoms and Astrophysical Phenomena

    by Yevgeny V. Stadnik ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis explores the possibility of searching for new effects of dark matter that are linear in g, an approach that offers enormous advantages over conventional schemes, since the interaction constant g is very small, g<<1. Further, the thesis employs an investigation of linear effects to derive new limits on certain interactions of dark matter with ordinary matter that improve on previous ... Read more
