Author: Hooper, Dan Publisher: Princeton University Press ISBN: 9780691235042 Cover: HARDCOVER Date: 2024年05月 DESCRIPTION This book explores the exciting interface between the fields of cosmology, high-energy astrophysics, and particle physics, at a level suitable for advanced undergraduate- to graduate-level students as well as active researchers. Without assuming a strong background in particle physics or quantum field theory, the text is designed to be accessible to readers from a range of backgrounds and presents both fundamentals and modern topics in a modular style that allows for flexible use and easy reference. It offers coverage of general relativity and the Friedmann equations, early universe thermodynamics, recombination and the cosmic microwave background, Big Bang nucleosynthesis, the origin and detection of dark matter, the formation of large-scale structure, baryogenesis and leptogenesis, inflation, dark energy, cosmic rays, neutrino and gamma-ray astrophysics, supersymmetry, Grand Unified Theories, sterile neutrinos, and axions. The book also includes numerous worked examples and homework problems, many with solutions. Particle Cosmology and Astrophysics provides readers with an invaluable entree to this cross-disciplinary area of research and discovery. Accessible to advanced undergraduate to graduate students, as well as researchers in cosmology, high-energy astrophysics, and particle physics Does not assume a strong background in particle physics or quantum field theory and contains two chapters specifically for readers with no background in particle physics Broad scope, covering many topics across particle physics, astrophysics, and particle cosmology Modular presentation for easy reference and flexible use Provides more than 200 homework problems, many with solutions Ideal for course use or self-study and reference TABLE OF CONTENTS I Preliminaries 1 Our Universe 2 General Relativity and the Friedmann Equations 3 A Crash Course in Particle Physics 4 Thermodynamics for Cosmologists 5 The Interactions of High-Energy Particles in Astrophysics II Cosmology 6 Recombination and Photon Decoupling 7 The Cosmic Microwave Background 8 Big Bang Nucleosynthesis 9 Dark Matter 10 The Formation of Large-Scale Structure 11 Neutrino Masses and Oscillations 12 Baryogenesis and Leptogenesis 13 Inflation 14 Dark Energy III Particle Astrophysics 15 Cosmic Rays 16 Gamma-Ray and Neutrino Astrophysics 17 Particle Dark Matter Candidates 18 Direct Dark Matter Searches 19 Searches for Dark Matter Annihilation and Decay 20 Collider Physics for Astronomers
