This text goes much further than describing the fundamentals of general relativity, using a fresh approach that explains perplexing relativistic effects such as time dilation and Lorentz contraction prior to the volume’s discussion of Lorentz-transformation.

Dijet Angular Distributions in Proton-Proton Collisions is based on the first data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The volume is based on a classical Rutherford scattering experiment adapted to the LHC, presenting the measurement of scattering angles to search for new physics and substructure.

This informative and entertaining book offers a novel combination of historical, conceptual and formal introduction to the main ideas in physics. Covers classical physics, quantum mechanics and topics pertaining to physics and life, for example homochirality.

Observational and experimental data pertaining to gravity and cosmology, are changing our view of the Universe. This book explores John Archibald Wheeler’s seminal and enduring contributions in relativistic astrophysics.

Requiring only basic knowledge of high school mathematics and physics, this volume offers a concise introduction to the general theory of relativity. The text presents the fundamentals of special relativity, Minkowski space-time, non-Euclidean geometry, Newtonian gravity, and more.
