Vii, 174 Pp. Green Cloth, Gilt. Hardcover, First English Language Printing. As New Book In Lightly Used Dj, Very Small Chips At Corners, 1/2" Chip At Top Of Spine Removing First Initial Of Author's Name, , Rear Panel A Little Dusty. Lev Borisovich Okun (1929 –2015) Was A Soviet Theoretical Physicist. He Worked Since 1954 At The Institute For Theoretical And Experimental Physics In Moscow, Whose Theoretical Physics Laboratory He Headed For 30 Years; Was Professor At The Moscow Institute For Physics And Technology; And Published Some 300 Papers, And Several Books, On The Theory Of Elementary Particles. In The Field Of Strong Interactions The Famous Okun-Pomeranchuk Theorem On The Equality Of Cross Sections For Scattering Of The Particles From The Same Isomultiplet At Asymptotically High Energies Was Proved In 1956. In The 70S, He And Co-Authors Developed A New Method Of Quantum Chromodynamics Sum Rules, That Became Known In The Literature As The "Itep Sum Rules". One Of Okun's Favorite Subjects Was. From His Early Works, He Contributed Several Fundamental Results To The Study Of Weak Interactions, Such As The Conclusion That Violation Of P-Parity In Β-Decay Also Means The Violation Of C-Parity (1957, Together With Ioffe And Rudik), As Well As An Evaluation Of The Difference Between The Masses Of Neutral K-Mesons (With Bruno Pontecorvo, 1957). Okun Introduced The Term "Hadron" In A Plenary Talk At The 1962 International Conference On High Energy Physics. His Book "Weak Interaction Of Elementary Particles", Published In 1963, Became A Textbook And A Desktop Reference Material For Several Generations Of Students And Academics. This Book, That Appeared Before The Quark Model Was Based On One Of The First Successful Composite Models Of Hadrons, The Sakata-Okun Model, That He Was Developing Since 1958. In This Model, All Known Particles Were Constructed Of Three Sakaton Proto-Particles Predecessors Of Quarks. He Had Predicted The Existence Of Η And Η′ Mesons, And Formulated The Selection Rule ∆Q = ∆S For Semi-Leptonic Decays Of Strange Particles. In 1964, In The Paper Written Together With Pomeranchuk And Kobzarev, The Idea Of "Mirror World" Came Into Existence. "Mirror Matter" Is Still A Possible Candidate For Dark Matter. He Has Made Seminal Contributions To The New Field Of Research At The Intersection Of Particle Physics, Cosmology And Astrophysics. A Method For Calculating Relic Abundance Of Elementary Particles During The Expansion Of The Universe Was Developed In His 1965 Paper With Zel'dovich And Pikel'ner. They Performed A Calculation Of The Abundance Of Free Quarks. Non-Observation Of Free Quarks Was One Of The Arguments For Quark Confinement. Now The Approach That Emerged From This Paper Became A Standard Tool In The Studies Of The Origin Of Dark Matter In The Universe. Vacuum Domain Walls Investigated By Him In 1974 Were The First Macroscopic Object Of Qft That Could Determine The Evolution Of The Universe. In The Same Year, Okun Together With Voloshin And Kobzarev Published A Pioneering Paper On The Decay Of The False Vacuum—A Subject That Unexpectedly Became Of A Relevance To The Physical Vacuum In Our Universe After The Discovery Of The Higgs Boson With Mass 125 Gev. He Has Served As A Member Of The Scientific Policy Committees Of Cern, Ssc And Desy. He Was A Member Of The Russian Academy Of Sciences And The Academia Europaea, An Honorary Member Of The New York Academy Of Sciences, And A Fellow Of The Institute Of Physics.…
