Particle Astrophysics 1st Edition by H. V. Klapdor-Kleingrothaus (PDF)

Description

In recent years the fields of both particle physics and astrophysics have become increasingly interdependent. High energy particle physics experiments are ever more difficult and expensive to perform in conventional laboratories and it is apparent that there are sources and accelerators in the cosmos which can be used for experiments which would be impossible on the Earth. At the same time, astrophysicists have found that an understanding of particle physics is essential to describe many observed phenomena (such as dark matter, solar neutrinos and cosmic rays) and also to provide any detailed description of the early universe. In this climate of interdisciplinary research more and more researchers are crossing traditional subject boundaries in order to study what has become known as Particle Astrophysics.This book, conceived as a more specialised follow-up to one of the authors earlier works (Non-accelerator Particle Physics by Klapdor-Kleingrothaus and Staudt) gives a graduate level account of the physics of particle astrophysics. It describes, at an introductory level, the close connection between the microcosm (particles) and the macrocosm (Universe). The approach is wide ranging and succeeds in introducing all of the major theoretical concepts as well as describing the most recent experimental and observational evidence in the field. As such it will be invaluable to anyone approaching the subject from either particle physics or astrophysics.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “Hans Klapdor-Kleingrothaus and Kai Zuber must be commed for discussing in a single book an impressive number of topics relevant to the emerging discipline of particle astrophysics…such a work is very timely. …the community should be extremely grateful to [the authors] for their impressive compilation of such diverse material. This is probably the first comprehensive book on the subject, and even with its shortcomings, such a work is very stimulating.” — Physics Today

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Although this is a graduate level astrophysics test, I recommend that everyone purchase it and hire a consultant or tutor to translate it into closer to ordinary English. This book goes where popular science usually stops: into the details of space, time, and elementary particles. It is written by a member of the Max-Planck Institute in Heidelberg, one of the world’s most famous institutes of physics, and is full of both experimental and theoretical results on dark matter, quasars, galaxy formation, monopoles, neutrinos, axioms, nucleosynthesis, etc. Most topics have entire chapters, whereas popular science books might just mention them. For more on monopole theory and dark matter, see my reviews of Kursunoglu and others. KKZ have a whole section on Dirac monopoles, a whole section on ‘t Hoof Polyakov monopoles. My review of Cao does not emphasize this, but Cao’s book also is a good source for information on elementary particles and physics-astrophysics relationships.
