Opis

This book introduces the theory of hadron form factors in a consistent manner, deriving step-by-step the key equations, defining the form factors, explaining their symmetry relations and applying mathematical tools to describe their behaviour. It is an ideal guide for graduate students studying particle physics and researchers.

O autorze

Alexander Khodjamirian is a professor at the Department of Physics, University of Siegen, Germany. Dr. Khodjamirian received his PhD degree in theoretical physics from the Yerevan Physics Institute in 1980, where he later worked as a staff member in the Theory Division. In 1992 he moved to Germany, first as a Humboldt Fellow at Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich, then as a research associate and visitor at various universities and research centers in Germany and Europe (LMU in Munich, University of Würzburg, NBI in Copenhagen, CERN, University of Lund, University of Karlsruhe). From 2004 he worked as a senior staff scientist, before becoming a professor at the University of Siegen in 2009. Prof. Dr. Khodjamirian is a foreign member of the Armenian National Academy of Sciences. He is highly respected in his field of scientific research, which is theoretical particle physics, quantum chromodynamics and the phenomenology of hadrons.
