A graduate-level introduction to the interface between particle
physics, astrophysics, and cosmology This book explores the
exciting interface between the fields of cosmology, high-energy
astrophysics, and particle physics, at a level suitable for
advanced undergraduate to graduate level students as well as active
researchers. Without assuming a strong background in particle
physics or quantum field theory, the text is designed to be
accessible to readers from a range of backgrounds and presents both
fundamentals and modern topics in a modular style that allows for
flexible use and easy reference. It offers coverage of general
relativity and the Friedmann equations, early universe
thermodynamics, recombination and the cosmic microwave background,
Big Bang nucleosynthesis, the origin and detection of dark matter,
the formation of large-scale structure, baryogenesis and
leptogenesis, inflation, dark energy, cosmic rays, neutrino and
gamma-ray astrophysics, supersymmetry, Grand Unified Theories,
sterile neutrinos, and axions. The book also provides numerous
worked examples and homework problems, many with solutions.
Particle Cosmology and Astrophysics provides readers with an
invaluable entrée to this cross-disciplinary area of research and
discovery. • Accessible to advanced undergraduate to graduate
students, as well as researchers in cosmology, high-energy
astrophysics, and particle physics • Does not assume a strong
background in particle physics or quantum field theory, and
contains two chapters specifically for readers with no background
in particle physics. • Broad scope, covering many topics across
particle physics, astrophysics, and particle-cosmology • Modular
presentation, for easy reference and flexible use • Provides more
than 200 homework problems, many with solutions • Ideal for
course use or self-study and reference
"Inner Space/Outer Space" brings together much of the exciting work
contributing to a new synthesis of modern physics. Particle
physicists, concerned with the "inner space" of the atom, are
making discoveries that their colleagues in astrophysics, studying
outer space, can use to develop and test hypotheses about the
events that occurred in the microseconds after the Big Bang and
that shaped the universe as we know it today.
The papers collected here, from scores of scientists, constitute
the proceedings of the first major international conference on
research at the interface of particle physics and astrophysics,
held in May 1984. The editors have written introductions to each
major section that draw out the central themes and elaborate on the
primary implications of the papers that follow.
