From the Back Cover:
The subjects of elementary particles, astrophysics and cosmology have become inextricably interconnected, which has led to great advances in our understanding of the universe.
Written by an author with unique research experience at prestigious institutions, this self-contained text provides a comprehensive introduction to modern astrophysics and cosmology. The physical and mathematical concepts essential for a thorough understanding of the classical theory of fields are carefully developed. Some relevant aspects of thermodynamics, statistical physics and elementary particle physics are reviewed. Considerable emphasis is placed on the description of experimental techniques and results.
From the contents:
* An Introduction to Cosmology
* Special and General Relativity
* The Friedmann-Lemaitre Universe
* Stellar Structure and Evolution
* Astrophysical Implications of General Relativity

Radoje Belusevic received his Ph.D. in experimental particle physics at the University of Birmingham (UK) in 1981. He has conducted research at University College London (UK), at the Universities of Heidelberg (Germany), Florida (USA) and Stanford (USA), and at major high-energy physics laboratories, including CERN (Switzerland), DESY (Germany) and Fermilab (USA). Since 1991, Dr. Belusevic has been working at the Institute of Particle and Nuclear Studies of the Japanese High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK). His main research interests are the physics of neutrino interactions, electron-positron annihilations and photon-photon collisions, as well as experimental hardware.

Book Description Gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Gebraucht. Gebraucht - Gut achtung: nur band 1! vol. 1 only! - beschädigungen, verschmutzungen, ungelesenes mängelexemplar, gestempelt - Über 1.000 Seiten und zwei Bände umfasst dieses Referenzwerk, verfasst von einem der herausragenden Experten auf diesem Gebiet. Dessen rasante Entwicklung definiert die besondere Herausforderung, der sich ein Werk wie dieses stellen muss: Einerseits muss es die ungeheure Dynamik aktueller Forschung und technologischer Innovationen (etwa bei Weltraumteleskopen) wiedergeben; andererseits darf es darüber die Erläuterung der jeweiligen Grundlagen ebenso wenig vernachlässigen wie mathematische Aspekte. Belusevic gelingt dieser Spagat: Seine Ausführungen sind inhaltlich umfassend und aktuell, mathematisch gründlich und präzise. Nach einer Einführung in die Kosmologie widmet er sich Allgemeiner und Spezieller Relativitätstheorie. Dem Friedmann-Lemaitre-Universum widmet er ein eigenes Kapitel, ebenso Sternstruktur und Sternentwicklung sowie den astrophysikalischen Implikationen der Allgemeinen Relativität. Dank Umfang und inhaltlicher Anlage ist das Werk ein echtes 'Full-service-Angebot' zum Thema. Authored by an expert with unique research experience at prestigious institutions, this book fills the gap for a one-stop, up-to-date ready reference. The text provides the full mathematical background, and is backed by links to experiments. 1104 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # INF1000336576
