Noncommutative Geometry and Particle Physics (2nd Edition)


Free Download Noncommutative Geometry and Particle Physics
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031591194 | 328 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 29 MB
This book provides an introduction to noncommutative geometry and presents a number of its recent applications to particle physics. In the first part, we introduce the main concepts and techniques by studying finite noncommutative spaces, providing a "light" approach to noncommutative geometry. We then proceed with the general framework by defining and analyzing noncommutative spin manifolds and deriving some main results on them, such as the local index formula. In the second part, we show how noncommutative spin manifolds naturally give rise to gauge theories, applying this principle to specific examples. We subsequently geometrically derive abelian and non-abelian Yang-Mills gauge theories, and eventually the full Standard Model of particle physics, and conclude by explaining how noncommutative geometry might indicate how to proceed beyond the Standard Model.

Beams The Story of Particle Accelerators and the Science They Discover (Copernicus Books)


Free Download Beams: The Story of Particle Accelerators and the Science They Discover (Copernicus Books) by Volker Ziemann
English | March 31, 2024 | ISBN: 3031518519 | 208 pages | MOBI | 8.42 Mb
This book describes and explains the world of particle accelerators and the physics they study. The presentation is non-technical (E=mc2 is the only equation!) and the prose accessible. By following the co-evolution of particle accelerators and particle physics, readers will learn why the accelerators are built, how they work, and what "results" they produce. The book highlights the great ideas (e.g. synchrotron) and technological advances (superconducting magnets) that boosted the potential of accelerators and led to new discoveries, eventually resulting in the standard model of particle physics. Many concepts are illustrated with figures derived from three-dimensional models; these include theaccelerators, detectors, and particles. Background information about the main protagonists, along with pointers to further reading, e.g. from "Scientific American," are provided in endnotes.

Solutions Manual for Particle Physics at the New Millennium


Free Download Solutions Manual for Particle Physics at the New Millennium By Byron P. Roe (auth.)
1996 | 96 Pages | ISBN: 1461275164 | PDF | 4 MB
Intended for beginning graduate students or advanced undergraduates, this text provides a thorough introduction to the phenomena of high-energy physics and the Standard Model of elementary particles. It should thus provide a sufficient introduction to the field for experimeters, as well as sufficient background for theorists to continue with advanced courses on field theory. The text develops the Standard Model from the bottom up, showing the experimental evidence for each theoretical assumption and emphasizing the most recent results. It includes thorough discussions of electromagnetic interactions (of interest in particle detection), magnetic monopoles, and extensions of the Standard Model.

Evolution of Silicon Sensor Technology in Particle Physics (3rd Edition)


Free Download Evolution of Silicon Sensor Technology in Particle Physics: Basics and Applications
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031597192 | 494 Pages | PDF (True) | 75 MB
This third edition of a well-received monograph provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art of detectors and their evolution. In addition to the silicon sensor technology described in the second edition, the book covers the following new topics: precise timing detectors (3D sensors and sensors with intrinsic gain layers), passive CMOS sensors, new developments in HV-CMOS sensors, and sparking in strip and pixel detectors. The chapter on the HL-LHC CMS upgrades has been updated, and the historical overview has been enriched with a section on the UA2 SPD pad detector system.
