  • Particle Accelerators: From Big Bang Physics to Hadron Therapy

    by Ugo Amaldi ...
    Translated by Geoffrey Hall ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Rather than focusing on the contributions of theoretical physicists to the understanding of the subatomic world and of the beginning of the universe - as most popular science books on particle physics do - this book is different in that, firstly, the main focus is on machine inventors and builders and, secondly, particle accelerators are not only described as discovery tools but also for their ...

  • The B−L Phase Transition

    Implications for Cosmology and Neutrinos

    by Kai Schmitz ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Several of the very foundations of the cosmological standard model — the baryon asymmetry of the universe, dark matter, and the origin of the hot big bang itself — still call for an explanation from the perspective of fundamental physics. This work advocates one intriguing possibility for a consistent cosmology that fills in the theoretical gaps while being fully in accordance with the ... Read more

  • Non-minimal Higgs Inflation and Frame Dependence in Cosmology

    by Christian Friedrich Steinwachs ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis explores the idea that the Higgs boson of the Standard Model and the cosmological inflation are just two manifestations of one and the same scalar field - the Higgs-inflation. By this unification two energy scales that are separated by many orders of magnitude are connected, thereby building a bridge between particle physics and cosmology. An essential ingredient for making this model ... Read more

  • Search for Supersymmetry in pp Collisions at √s = 8 TeV with a Photon, Lepton, and Missing Transverse Energy

    by Yutaro Iiyama ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This Ph.D. thesis is a search for physics beyond the standard model (SM) of particle physics, which successfully describes the interactions and properties of all known elementary particles. However, no particle exists in the SM that can account for the dark matter, which makes up about one quarter of the energy-mass content of the universe. Understanding the nature of dark matter is one goal of ... Read more

  • Particle Accelerators, Colliders, and the Story of High Energy Physics

    Charming the Cosmic Snake

    by Raghavan Jayakumar ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book takes the readers through the science behind particle accelerators, colliders and detectors: the physics principles that each stage of the development of particle accelerators helped to reveal, and the particles they helped to discover. The book culminates with a description of the Large Hadron Collider, one of the world’s largest and most complex machines operating in a 27-km ... Read more
