Double Chooz and Reactor Neutrino Oscillation
θ_13 Improvement and First Effective Δm^2_31 Measurement
Language: English
Release Date: January 27, 2015
This book is based on the author’s work at the Double Chooz Experiment, from 2010 to 2013, the goal of which was to search for electronic anti-neutrino disappearance close to nuclear power plant facilities as a result of neutrino oscillation. Starting with a brief review of neutrino oscillation...

Bugey n°5, Mon Désamour
Essai pacifique
Language: French
Release Date: May 8, 2017
En toute immodestie, cet ouvrage tente de retracer la mise en place d’un nouveau type d’action militante, de manière d’abord fictionnelle, puis sous la forme d’un essai, agrémenté de chroniques ou d’anecdotes.De façon parfois décalée, voire humoristique, Jean-Pierre Collet nous livre...
Atom Land
A Guided Tour Through the Strange (and Impossibly Small) World of Particle Physics
Language: English
Release Date: March 20, 2018
Journey into an unseen world—and to the frontiers of human knowledge
Welcome to Atom Land, a subatomic realm governed by the laws of particle physics. Here, electromagnetism is a highway system; the strong force, a railway; the weak force, an airline. With award-winning physicist Jon Butterworth...
From Special Relativity to Feynman Diagrams
A Course in Theoretical Particle Physics for Beginners
Language: English
Release Date: October 6, 2015
This book, now in its second edition, provides an introductory course on theoretical particle physics with the aim of filling the gap that exists between basic courses of classical and quantum mechanics and advanced courses of (relativistic) quantum mechanics and field theory. After a concise but...
The Philosopher's Stone
Alchemy and the Secret Research for Exotic Matter
Language: English
Release Date: April 1, 2009
Prolific author Joseph P. Farrell, who commands a growing and devoted audience on Coast to Coast AM, Erskine Overnight, and other programs, initiates his Feral House association with The Philosopher’s Stone, in which he demonstrates the connections of modern physics and ancient alchemy by investigating...
Consciousness and Cosmos
Proposal for a New Paradigm Based on Physics and Inrospection
Language: English
Release Date: July 21, 2014
Your memories and feelings could be stored in matter based on non-physical atoms. This book takes the unique approach of recognizing that mental and spiritual phenomena can be observed in the same way that scientists observe physical phenomena. The book shows how all phenomena can be explained by...
Quarks
Frontiers in Elementary Particle Physics
Language: English
Release Date: May 1, 1985
The book explains in a precise and complete manner how elementary particle physics has evolved over the past 50 years. The historical development of the ideas that have shaped our thinking about the ultimate constituents of matter is traced out. The author has been associated with some of the originators...

With Applications to Astrophysical and Laboratory Plasmas
Language: English
Release Date: March 8, 2018
The purpose of this book is to illustrate the fundamental concepts of complexity and complex behavior and the best methods to characterize this behavior by means of their applications to some current research topics from within the fields of fusion, earth and solar plasmas. In this sense, it is a...
Particle Accelerators, Colliders, and the Story of High Energy Physics
Charming the Cosmic Snake
Language: English
Release Date: October 27, 2011
This book takes the readers through the science behind particle accelerators, colliders and detectors: the physics principles that each stage of the development of particle accelerators helped to reveal, and the particles they helped to discover. The book culminates with a description of the Large...
Search for New Physics in Mono-jet Final States in pp Collisions
at √s=13 TeV with the ATLAS Experiment at the LHC
Language: English
Release Date: June 19, 2017
This thesis provides a detailed and comprehensive description of the search for New Physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the mono-jet final state, using the first 3.2 fb-1 of data collected at the centre of mass energy of colliding protons of 13~TeV recorded in the ATLAS experiment at LHC.

The possibility that we live in a higher-dimensional world with spatial dimensions greater than three started with the early work of Kaluza and Klein. However, in addressing experimental constraints, early model-builders were forced to compactify these extra dimensions to very tiny scales. With the...
