Volker Ziemann Book order

This book describes and explains the world of particle accelerators and the physics they study. The presentation is non-technical (E=mc2 is the only equation!) and the prose accessible. By following the co-evolution of particle accelerators and particle physics, readers will learn why the accelerators are built, how they work, and what "results" they produce. The book highlights the great ideas (e.g. synchrotron) and technological advances (superconducting magnets) that boosted the potential of accelerators and led to new discoveries, eventually resulting in the standard model of particle physics. Many concepts are illustrated with figures derived from three-dimensional models; these include theaccelerators, detectors, and particles. Background information about the main protagonists, along with pointers to further reading, e.g. from "Scientific American," are provided in endnotes.

Focusing on practical applications, this book provides a comprehensive guide to interfacing sensors and actuators with microcontrollers like Arduino and Raspberry Pi. It covers a variety of projects and techniques, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced users. The hands-on approach ensures readers gain valuable skills in electronics and programming, enhancing their understanding of control systems.

Exploring the intersection of physics and finance, this book reveals shared concepts and methods, particularly in dealing with noise and uncertainties. By comparing key techniques and applications in both fields, it enhances students' understanding of fundamental ideas. Readers gain valuable mathematical and computational skills, including stochastic differential equations, path integrals, Monte-Carlo methods, and basic cryptology. Each chapter concludes with exercises designed to reinforce comprehension and application of the material.

Focusing on accelerator design and operation, this book offers a comprehensive introduction to the theoretical concepts and key components involved. It utilizes commonly used MATLAB® code to enhance understanding, making complex ideas more accessible. Aimed at graduate students and postgraduate researchers, it serves as a valuable resource for those delving into accelerator physics, bridging theory and practical application.
