This third open access volume of the handbook series deals with accelerator physics, design, technology and operations, as well as with beam optics, dynamics and diagnostics. A joint CERN-Springer initiative, the "Particle Physics Reference Library" provides revised and updated contributions based on previously published material in the well-known Landolt-Boernstein series on particle physics, accelerators and detectors (volumes 21A,B1,B2,C), which took stock of the field approximately one decade ago. Central to this new initiative is publication under full open access

This second open access volume of the handbook series deals with detectors, large experimental facilities and data handling, both for accelerator and non-accelerator based experiments. It also covers applications in medicine and life sciences.

The book is a compilation of the most important experimental results achieved during the past 60 years at CERN - from the mid-1950s to the latest discovery of the Higgs particle. Covering the results from the early accelerators at CERN to those most recent at the LHC, the contents provide an excellent review of the achievements of this outstanding laboratory. Not only presented is the impressive scientific progress achieved during the past six decades, but also demonstrated is the special way in which successful international collaboration exists at CERN.

This first open access volume of the handbook series contains articles on the standard model of particle physics, both from the theoretical and experimental perspective. It also covers related topics, such as heavy-ion physics, neutrino physics and searches for new physics beyond the standard model.

Housed by a 4 m diameter tunnel of 27 km circumference, with huge underground labs and numerous surface facilities, and set up with a precision of 0.1 mm per kilometer, the Large Electron-Positron Collider (LEP) was not only the largest but also one of the most sophisticated scientific research instruments ever created by Man. Located at CERN, near Geneva, LEP was built during the years 1983 - 1989, was operational until 2000, and corroborated the standard model of particle physics through continuous high precision measurements. The Author, director-general of CERN during the crucial period of the construction of LEP, recounts vividly the convoluted decision-making and technical implementation processes - the tunnel alone being a highly challenging geo- and civil engineering project - and the subsequent extremely fruitful period of scientific research. Finally he describes the difficult decision to close down LEP, at a time when the discovery of the Higgs boson seemed within reach. LEP was eventually dismantled in 2000, enabling the tunnel to be reused for building the next generation machine, the much more powerful Large Hadron Collider (LHC), an upgrade then called LEP3 and foreseen from the beginning. It became operational just as this account was being completed. Written by the main protagonist responsible for making LEP a reality, this is the definitive inside story of a remarkable machine and the many thousands of scientists and engineers from around the world, whose efforts contributed to the new knowledge it produced.

Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfangen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen fur die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfugung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden mussen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich BWL - Investition und Finanzierung, Note: 1,3, Universitat Luzern (Controlling, Finanzdienstleistungen), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Einleitung: Um eine Konvergenz zwischen den Rechnungslegungs-Standards zu erreichen, hat das International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) seine Bestimmung betreffend bilanzieller Behandlung von derivativem Goodwill entsprechend angepasst. Alle nach dem 31.04.2004 erfolgten bzw. erfolgenden Unternehmenszusammenschlussen haben analog zu den Bestimmungen gemass US GAAP nach der Purchase-Methode inklusive periodischer Werthaltigkeitsprufung (Impairment) verbucht zu werden. Die Bestimmungen sind in den Standards IFRS 3 und IAS 36 (2004) festgehalten. Neben der Pflicht einen Unternehmenszusammenschluss mit dem Purchase Accounting zu erfassen, verbieten die International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) die planmassige Abschreibung des Goodwills. Die Standards schreiben einen jahrlichen Werthaltigkeitstest (Impairment Test) fur immaterielle Guter mit unbestimmbarer Lebensdauer vor, welche die entscheidungsrelevanten Informationen in Bezug auf immaterielle Vermogensgegenstande erhohen sollen. Somit haben alle Unternehmen den Goodwill Werthaltigkeitstest (Impairment-only-approach) anzuwenden. Doch die neuen Standards zum Goodwill Accounting eroffnen dem Management neue Moglichkeiten des Earnings Management und insbesondere des Big Bath Accounting. Ob die Anwendung des Impairment-only-Approach zu einer transparenteren und verstandlicheren Rechnungslegung im Bereich des Goodwills fuhrt, ist umstritten. Gang der Untersuchung: Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit soll die Entwicklung und der technische Ablauf der Goodwill-Bilanzierung nach IFRS 3 aufgezeigt werden. Es sind die wesentlichen Bestimmungen des Impairment-only-approach (IAO) nach IAS 36 sowie die entstehenden bilanzpolitischen Spielraume zu erlautern. Anhand einer empirischen Studie soll untersucht werden, wie die Neuregelung des
