Literally thousands of elementary particles have been discovered over the last 50 years, their properties measured, relationships systematiz ed, and existence and behavior explained in a myriad of cleverly const ructed theories. As the field has grown so impressively, so has its ja rgon. This unique handbook contains, in dictionary form, terms of inte rest in particle physics clearly defined and with relevant technical a nd mathematics details. It covers the experimental and theoretical tec hniques of particle physics along with terms from the closely related fields of astrophysics and...

From quantum theory to statistical mechanics, the methodologies of physics are often used to explain some of life's most complex biological problems. Exploring this challenging yet fascinating area of study, Molecular and Cellular Biophysics covers both molecular and cellular structures as well as the biophysical processes that occur in these structures. Designed for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in biophysics courses, this textbook features a quantitative approach that avoids being too abstract in its presentation.
Logically organized from...
