After three decades of intense research in X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy, the time was ripe to summarize basic knowledge on X-ray and gamma-ray spectroscopy for interested students and researchers ready to become involved in new high-energy missions. This volume exposes both the scientific basics and modern methods of high-energy spectroscopic astrophysics. The emphasis is on physical principles and observing methods rather than a discussion of particular classes of high-energy objects, but many examples and new results are included in the three chapters as well.
This volume is the first of its kind on focusing gamma-ray telescopes. Forty-eight refereed papers provide a comprehensive overview of the scientific potential and technical challenges of this nascent tool for nuclear astrophysics. The book features articles dealing with pivotal technologies such as grazing incident mirrors, multilayer coatings, Laue- and Fresnel-lenses - and even an optic using the curvature of space-time.
This book contains the invited and contributed papers of the 5th Workshop on Sulfur Transport and Assimilation in Plants, a joined European Commission (COST Action 829) and OECD meeting hosted at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure Agronomique in Montpellier (France) from April 11 to 14, 2002. The meeting was co-organized by the ENSA-Montpellier (France), the University of Graz (Austria), the University of Groningen (The Netherlands), Rothamsted Research, (United Kingdom), Institute of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Braunschweig (Germany), the Agricultural Biotechnical Center of Gödöllö (Hungary), Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg (Germany) and the University of Chiba (Japan).
