Shipped with care. --- An edited collection in the Series in High Energy Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation, with I. Ciufolini, E. Coccia, V. Gorini, N. Vittorio and R. Peron serving as editors. The volume gathers contributions on classical relativity, relativistic astrophysics, cosmology and their points of contact with theoretical and experimental particle physics, ranging in scale from the Hubble length to the Planck length. Among its articles are extended discussions of experimental tests of relativity, alongside chapters that carry the treatment through to the quantum frontier and the relationships among particles, fields, strings and branes. Reviewing the book in Contemporary Physics, R. Ellis described it as a collection of articles whose most valuable chapters were those devoted to experimental tests of relativity, which he considered to capture recent progress in the field.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This text provides an overview of relativistic astrophysics, early universe physics, cosmology and their interface with particle physics at a level suitable for postgraduate students. Over the last decade or so the fields of astrophysics and particle physics have become increasingly interdependent. The new field of particle astrophysics is one of the hottest areas of modern physics, attracting students and researchers from different academic backgrounds. The book is an edited work based on lectures given at a graduate school by internationally known experts drawn from classical relativity, astrophysics, theoretical and experimental particle physics. There is an introduction to set the scene and provide a context for the book. Offers an overview of relativistic astrophysics, early universe physics, cosmology, and their interface with particle physics. This work presents information on classical relativity, and astrophysics. It covers an array of topics, from refined experimental techniques in gravitational physics to cosmology and the quantum frontier.
