| From superstring theory to models with extra dimensions to dark matter and dark energy, a range of theoretically stimulating ideas have evolved for physics beyond the standard model. These developments have spawned a new area of physics that centers on the interplay between particle physics and cosmology—astroparticle physics. Providing the necessary theoretical background, Particle and Astroparticle Physics clearly presents the many recent advances that have occurred in these fields.
Divided into five parts, the book begins with discussions on group and field theories. The second part summarizes the standard model of particle physics and includes some extensions to the model, such as neutrino masses and CP violation. The next section focuses on grand unified theories and supersymmetry. The book then discusses the general theory of relativity, higher dimensional theories of gravity, and superstring theory. It also introduces various novel ideas and models with extra dimensions and low-scale gravity. The last part of the book deals with astroparticle physics. After an introduction to cosmology, it covers several specialized topics, including baryogenesis, dark matter, dark energy, and brane cosmology.
With numerous equations and detailed references, this lucid book explores the new physics beyond the standard model, showing that particle and astroparticle physics will together reveal unique insights in the next era of physics. |

Core Concepts of Accounting Information Systems
Information technologies impact every aspect of accounting, including financial reporting,
managerial accounting, auditing, and tax. The nature of the work done by accountants
continues to evolve as these technologies advance. For example, less than 30 years
ago, accountants could have spent much of their day footing ledgers and making... | | jQuery Reference GuideThis detailed reference guide to jQuery, an open-source JavaScript library that shields web developers from browser inconsistencies, simplifies adding dynamic, interactive elements, and reduces development time, covers the syntax of every jQuery method, function, and selector with detailed discussions to help readers get the most from jQuery.
