Key Features of the new edition Besides a general revision of text and formulae, three new chapters have been added. - Chapter 17 introduces and discusses double beta decay processes with and without neutrino emission, the latter being the only process able to determine the Dirac or Majorana nature of the neutrino (discussed in Chapter 13). A discussion of the limits to the Majorana neutrino mass obtained recently in several underground laboratories is included. - Chapter 18 illustrates the calculation of the mass spectrum of "quarkonia" (mesons composed by a pair of heavy, charm or beauty quarks), in analogy with the positronium spectrum discussed in Chapter 12. This calculation has put into evidence the existence of "unexpected" states and has led to the new field of "exotic hadrons", presently under active theoretical and experimental scrutiny. - Chapter 19 illustrates the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, extensively used in the computation of simple molecules, and its application to the physics of exotic hadrons containing a pair of heavy quarks, with application to the recently observed doubly charmed baryons.

An Introduction to Gauge Theories

Written by world-leading experts in particle physics, this new book from Luciano Maiani and Omar Benhar, with contributions from the late Nicola Cabibbo, is based on Feynman’s path integrals. Key elements of gauge theories are described―Feynman diagrams, gauge-fixing, Faddeev-Popov ghosts―as well as renormalization in Quantum Electrodynamics. Quarks and QCD interactions are introduced. Renormalization group and high momentum behaviour of the coupling constants is discussed in QED and QCD, with asymptotic freedom derived at one-loop. These concepts are related to the Higgs boson and models of grand unification. "… an excellent introduction to the quantum theory of gauge fields and their applications to particle physics. … It will be an excellent book for the serious student and a good reference for the professional practitioner. Let me add that, scattered through the pages, we can find occasional traces of Nicola Cabibbo's style." ―John Iliopoulos, CNRS-Ecole Normale Supérieure "  … The volume ends with an illuminating description of the expectation generated by the recent discovery of the Higgs boson, combined with the lack of evidence for super-symmetric particles in the mass range 0.6-1 TeV." ―Arturo Menchaca-Rocha, FinstP, Professor of Physics, Mexico’s National Autonomous University, Former President of the Mexican Academy of Sciences, Presidential Advisor "…The reader is masterfully guided through the subtleties of the quantum field theory and elementary particle physics from simple examples in Quantum Mechanics to salient details of modern theory." ―Mikhail Voloshin, Professor of Physics, University of Minnesota

Springer

Questo libro si propone di fornire un'introduzione, allo stesso tempo accessibile e completa, alle stelle compatte. Dopo una prima parte dedicata alla fisica delle nane bianche, nella parte centrale del volume vengono analizzate la struttura e la dinamica delle stelle di neutroni. Particolare attenzione è rivolta ai modelli utilizzati per la descrizione della materia stellare a livello microscopico. Questi modelli sono altamente multidisciplinari, in quanto abbracciano campi di ricerca che vanno dalla fisica nucleare e delle particelle elementari alla fisica della materia condensata all'astrofisica. Tutti gli argomenti sono trattati con un approccio pedagogico, facendo riferimento allo sviluppo storico delle osservazioni astronomiche e degli studi teorici. Ampio spazio è dedicato alla discussione dell'impatto dei risultati sperimentali più recenti, come la rivelazione di onde gravitazionali, e dei dati senza precedenti che saranno disponibili nella nascente era dell'astronomia multimessaggera. Questo volume vuole offrire agli studenti di dottorato in fisica ed astrofisica delle solide basi per la loro futura carriera scientifica. I ricercatori già impegnati nei campi della fisica nucleare e delle particelle, così come nell'astrofisica a nella fisica gravitazionale, lo troveranno un utile strumento di consultazione.
