This volume provides detailed insight into the field of precision spectroscopy and fundamental physics with particles confined in traps. It comprises experiments with electrons and positrons, protons and antiprotons, antimatter and highly charged ions together with corresponding theoretical background. Such investigations represent stringent tests of quantum electrodynamics and the Standard model, antiparticle and antimatter research, test of fundamental symmetries, constants and their possible variations with time and space. They are key to various aspects within metrology such as mass...

Dieses Werk ermoglicht ein vertieftes Verstandnis des Wahrscheinlichkeitsbegriffs. Es richtet sich an alle, die in ihrer wissenschaftlichen Arbeit, sei es wahrend des Studiums oder in einem anderen Arbeitsumfeld, mit dem Begriff der Wahrscheinlichkeit hantieren mussen.

Wie kann Wahrscheinlichkeit oder der Zufall, Sinnbild des Unvorhersehbaren und Unfassbaren, sich der Mathematik, Sinnbild des Prazisen und Unbeirrbaren, unterordnen? Diese Frage begleitete die Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung von Beginn an und fuhrte zu zahlreichen Versuchen, das Wesen der Wahrscheinlichkeit zu fassen.

Fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics, Third Edition is a clear and detailed introduction to quantum mechanics and its applications in chemistry and physics. All required math is clearly explained, including intermediate steps in derivations, and concise review of the math is included in the text at appropriate points. Most of the elementary quantum mechanical models--including particles in boxes, rigid rotor, harmonic oscillator, barrier penetration, hydrogen atom--are clearly and completely presented. Applications of these models to selected "real world" topics are also included.

Richard Feynman was one of the most famous and important physicists of the second half of the twentieth century. Awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965, celebrated for his spirited and engaging lectures, and briefly a star on the evening news for his presence on the commission investigating the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger, Feynman is best known for his contributions to the field of quantum electrodynamics. The Character of Physical Law, drawn from Feynman's famous 1964 series of Messenger Lectures at Cornell, offers an introduction to modern physics -- and to...

This thesis establishes an exciting new beginning for Laser Plasma Accelerators (LPAs) to further develop toward the next generation of compact high energy accelerators.

Design, installation and commissioning of a new experimental setup at LBNL played an important role and are detailed through three critical components: e-beam production, reflection of laser pulses with a plasma mirror and large wake excitation below electron injection threshold.

Pulses from a 40 TW peak power laser system were split into a 25 TW pulse and a 15 TW pulse. The first pulse was used for e-beam...
