  • Scattering and Structures

    Essentials and Analogies in Quantum Physics

    par Bogdan Povh, Mitja Rosina ...
    Collections series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Quantum physics may appear complicated, especially if one forgets the "big picture" and gets lost in the details. However, it can become clearer and less tangled if one applies a few fundamental concepts so that simplified approaches can emerge and estimated orders of magnitude become clear. Povh and Rosina’s Scattering and Structures presents the properties of quantum systems (elementary ... En savoir plus

  • Manifestations of Dark Matter and Variations of the Fundamental Constants in Atoms and Astrophysical Phenomena

    par Yevgeny V. Stadnik ...
    Collections series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis explores the possibility of searching for new effects of dark matter that are linear in g, an approach that offers enormous advantages over conventional schemes, since the interaction constant g is very small, g<<1. Further, the thesis employs an investigation of linear effects to derive new limits on certain interactions of dark matter with ordinary matter that improve on previous ... En savoir plus
