Meson Physics at COSY-11 and WASA-at-COSY


Book Description

This enchanting volume comprises the results of recent investigations aimed at understanding the mechanism leading to the creation and decay of strongly interacting particles. The emphasis here is on studies of the production, decay, interaction and structure of mesons eta, eta-prime and kaons. The investigations were carried out at the cooler synchrotron COSY providing beams of protons and deuterons that help create the full spectrum of basic pseudo-scalar and vector mesons.




A Short History of Physics in the American Century


Book Description

As the twentieth century ended, computers, the Internet, and nanotechnology were central to modern American life. Yet the physical advances underlying these applications are poorly understood and underappreciated by U.S. citizens. In this overview, Cassidy views physics through America's engagement with the political events of a tumultuous century.
