Dieses Buch liefert dem Leser eine aktuelle und fundierte Einfuhrung in die Philosophie der Quantenphysik. Obwohl sich die Quantentheorie durch spektakulare empirische Erfolge auszeichnet, wird bis heute kontrovers diskutiert, wie sie zu verstehen ist. In diesem Werk geben die Autoren einen Uberblick uber die zahlreichen philosophischen Herausforderungen: Verletzen Quantenobjekte das Prinzip der Kausalitat? Sind gleichartige Teilchen ununterscheidbar und daher keine Individuen? Behalten Quantenobjekte in der zeitlichen Entwicklung ihre Identitat? Wie verhalt sich ein zusammengesetztes...

Metal Semiconductor Core-Shell Nanostructures for Energy and Environmental Applications provides a concise, scholarly overview of current research into the characterization of metal semiconductor core-shell nanostructures; the book shows how their properties can be best used in energy and environmental applications, particularly for solar cell and catalysis application. Coverage is also given to the effect of metal nanoparticle for charge generation or charge separation. The book is a valuable resource for academic researchers working in the areas of nanotechnology, sustainable...

“Brendan McBreen's spare poems in Cosmic Egg combine humor, science, philosophy and life experience in whimsical harmony.”

~ Jeannine Hall Gailey, author of Field Guide to the End of the World

“See where Brendan McBreen’s humour, wit, and honest observation can take you in the cosmos—his and yours.”

~ Michael Dylan Welch, author of Becoming a Haiku Poet

“Brendan McBreen has a unique gift for mixing math, science, philosophy, and whimsy in his poetry; this talent is on...

This thesis discusses the construction of an effective field theory (EFT) for non-relativistic Majorana fermions, shows how to use it to calculate observables in a thermal medium, and derives the effects of these thermal particles on the CP asymmetry.

The methods described in this thesis are the only ones to date that allow a systematic and effective description of the non-relativistic dynamics of a heavy Majorana fermion at finite temperature. The CP asymmetry is studied for hierarchical and nearly degenerate heavy-neutrino masses and the analysis includes the treatment of...

This thesis presents two analyses of semileptonic b → sl+l- decays using Flavour Changing Neutral Currents (FCNCs) to test for the presence of new physics and lepton flavour universality, and the equality of couplings for different leptons, which on the basis of experimental evidence is assumed to hold in the Standard Model, free from uncertainties as a result of knowledge of the hadronic matrix elements. It also includes the angular analysis of Lambda_b->Lambda mumu decay and the RK* measurement, both of which are first measurements, not yet performed by any other...
