Product Description: This volume consists of a course of lectures conducted at the Fermilab, USA, where the author taught. It aims to estimate the theory of particle physics in a simple way, using an abacus. The contributors employ intuition rather than formal theory or the Monte Carlo method.

Here is a comprehensive introduction to the physical principles and design of particle detectors, covering all major detector types in use today. After discussing the size and energy scales involved in different physical processes, the book considers nondestructive methods, including the photoelectric effect, photomultipliers, scintillators, Cerenkov and transition radiation, scattering and ionization, and the use of magnetic fields in drift and wire chambers. A complete chapter is devoted to silicon detectors. In the final part of the book, Green discusses destructive measurement techniques. Throughout, he emphasizes the physical principles underlying detection and shows, through appropriate examples, how those principles are best utilized in real detectors. Exercises and detailed further reading lists are included.

Presents advice, activities, puzzles, and tricks based on scientific principles, for young wizards.

Product Description: This comprehensive introduction to high transverse momentum reactions at hadron colliders begins with the Standard Model of high energy physics and a description of the specialized detectors used. It then analyzes the reactions and summarizes the state of the art in hadron collider physics defined by Tevatron results...read more

The Justice League disbands after a series of crises depletes their strength and their headquarters are destroyed, but not all of the superheroes agree that their mission should end, especially once an old enemy reappears.

When a terrible mistake leads to the murder of his sister, a young Midnite begins his journey towards becoming a magician and pay retribution for his past deeds. As the US civil war divides the country, Midnite must make a deal with a mischievous ancient god to free his people - risking his life, as well as his immortal soul in the process.

Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern and the Martian Manhunter - each a mighty hero in their own right... together, they are the world's greatest team of super-heroes - the Justice League of America! But, what happens when they're no longer together?

Product Description: Too often descriptions of detectors focus on the "what" and not the "why". This volume aims to elucidate how the requirements of the physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) define the detector environment. In turn, the detector choices are made to adopt to that environment...read more
