Product Description: Nuclear double beta decay is one of the most promising tools for probing beyond-the-standard-model physics on beyond-accelerator energy scales. It is already now probing the TeV scale, on which new physics should manifest itself according to theoretical expectations...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Addressing the need for an up-to-date reference on silicon devices and heterostructures, Beyond the Desert 99 reviews the technology used to grow and characterize Goup IV alloy films. It covers the theory, device design, and simulation of heterojunction transistors, emphasizing their relevance in developing the technologies involving strained layers; device design and simulation of conventional silicon bipolar transistors and SiGe HBTs at room and low temperatures; and device design and simulation for MOSFETs, including SiGe and strained-Si channel MOSFETs...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product 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...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: One of the major open questions in high energy physics and cosmology is the nature and origin of dark matter. Dark Matter in Astrophysics and Particle Physics 1998 provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of research in this topical field...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: After setting the scene with accounts of the "Standard Models" of particle physics and cosmology (theory and experimental evidence) the book describes experimental methods for investigating physics beyond the "Standard Models". Until the next generation of accelerators comes on-line this means effectively using non-accelerator techniques, e...read more

Product Description: This book contains the Proceedings of the First International Conference 'Beyond the Desert' - on Particle Physics beyond the Standard Model held in June 1997. The conference brought together leading researchers from particle physics and astrophysics to present recent developments and future perspectives, both experimental and theoretical, in this topical field...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: This volume contains the talks presented at the international workshop on aspects of Dark Matter in astro- and particle physics (DARK '96). It provides a thorough presentation and discussion of the topic of dark matter, which currently seems to be one of the most exciting problems of modern physics, in the perspectives of different disciplines like astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology and particle physics...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: The proceedings contain the lectures and contributions given at the workshop on double-beta decay and related topics, held at the ETC, Trento, Italy. Double-beta decay is of prominent actuality. With the largely increased actuality of neutrino physics by recent observations and discussions of solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillations and recent corresponding development in Grand Unified Theories, double-beta decay has attained a key position within these problems...read more
