Quantum field theory provides the theoretical backbone to most modern physics. This book is designed to bring quantum field theory to a wider audience of physicists. It is packed with worked examples, witty diagrams, and applications intended to introduce a new audience to this revolutionary theory.
'A monumental achievement - one of the great scientific biographies.' Michael Frayn The Strangest Man is the Costa Biography Award-winning account of Paul Dirac, the famous physicist sometimes called the British Einstein. He was one of the leading pioneers of the greatest revolution in twentieth-century science: quantum mechanics. The youngest theoretician ever to win the Nobel Prize for Physics, he was also pathologically reticent, strangely literal-minded and legendarily unable to communicate or empathize. Through his greatest period of productivity, his postcards home contained only remarks about the weather.Based on a previously undiscovered archive of family papers, Graham Farmelo celeb...
A unique insight into Dirac's life and work, by four internationally respected physicists.
A self-contained guide to the role played by neutrinos in the Universe and how their properties influence cosmological and astrophysical observations.
This book treats and contrasts two competing orientations toward nuclear structure and scattering: the traditional, relativistic meson theory and the more modern quark-gluon theory. It includes recent developments and focuses on fundamental theory, featuring discussion of research projects currently under study. Also considered are such topics as the application of meson theory in nuclear physics, the theoretical approach in electron scattering, application of quantum chromatic dynamics to the scattering of electrons from nuclei, lattice gauge theory and much more. The book will be useful to graduate students of all levels.
The first full length biography of Dirac, one of the most brilliant physicists of the twentieth century.
2012 Reprint of 1955 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Dirac is widely regarded as one of the world's greatest physicists. He was one of the founders of quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics. His early contributions include the modern operator calculus for quantum mechanics, which he called transformation theory, and an early version of the path integral. His relativistic wave equation for the electron was the first successful attack on the problem of relativistic quantum mechanics. Dirac founded quantum field theory with his reinterpretation of the Dirac equation as a many-body equation, which predicted the existence ...
