Ever smaller :nature's elementary particles, from the atom to the neutrino an…
Originally published as: Le particelle elementari by il Saggiatore S.r.l., Milano, 2017.Includes index."This book is a thorough introduction to particle physics for the reader that has not been trained in mathematics and modern physics. This book is an excellent follow up to The Atom. It follows a similar model in terms of the history and the state-of-art in the research and the future, but it …

Fish4Knowledge: Collecting and Analyzing Massive Coral Reef Fish Video Data
Although the fission of heavy nuclei was discovered over 75 years ago, many problems and questions still remain to be addressed and answered. The reader will be presented with an old, but persistent problem of this field: The contradiction between Prompt Fission Neutron (PFN) spectra measured with differential (microscopic) experiments and integral (macroscopic and benchmark) experiments (the M…

Nuclear Structure with Coherent States
This book covers the essential features of a large variety of nuclear structure properties, both collective and microscopic in nature. Most of results are given in an analytical form thus giving deep insight into the relevant phenomena. Using coherent states as variational states, which allows a description in the classical phase space, or provides the generating function for a boson basis, is …

Nuclear physics for cultural heritage
The importance of cultural heritage for mankind was once well expressed by the Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928-2000) when he said: “If we do not honour our past we lose our future. If we destroy our roots we cannot grow.” This statement refers almost directly to the two pillars of this review: Investigation and preservation of our cultural treasures. The various contrib…

Laser Assisted Nuclear Decay Spectroscopy: A New Method for Studying Neutron-…
This work details an application of collinear resonance ionization spectroscopy for the separation of short-lived isomeric states and their subsequent study with decay spectroscopy. It reports the successful construction of a novel decay spectroscopy apparatus that can operate at pressures below 1 x 10^-9 mbar. The method is demonstrated by separating the nuclear ground and isomeric states of 2…

AdS/CFT Duality User Guid
This book describes applications of the AdS/CFT duality to the "real world." The AdS/CFT duality is an idea that originated from string theory and is a powerful tool for analyzing strongly-coupled gauge theories using classical gravitational theories. In recent years, it has been shown that one prediction of AdS/CFT is indeed close to the experimental result of the real quark–gluon plasma. Si…
