Introduction to particle and astroparticle physics : multimessenger astronomy and its particle physics foundations
De Angelis, Alessandro
Introduction to particle and astroparticle physics : multimessenger astronomy and its particle physics foundations - 2nd edition - Cham : Springer, 2018. - xxx, 733 pages : illustrations (114 b/w illustrations, 266 illustrations in colour) - Undergraduate lecture notes in physics, 2192-4791 .
Includes index.
This book introduces particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Starting from an experimental perspective, it provides a unified view of these fields that reflects the very rapid advances being made. This new edition has a number of improvements and has been updated to describe the recent discovery of gravitational waves and astrophysical neutrinos, which started the new era of multimessenger astrophysics; it also includes new results on the Higgs particle. Astroparticle and particle physics share a common problem: we still don’t have a description of the main ingredients of the Universe from the point of view of its energy budget. Addressing these fascinating issues, and offering a balanced introduction to particle and astroparticle physics that requires only a basic understanding of quantum and classical physics, this book is a valuable resource, particularly for advanced undergraduate students and for those embarking on graduate courses. It includes exercises that offer readers practical insights. It can be used equally well as a self-study book, a reference and a textbook.
