Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Antimatter is one of the most fascinating aspects of Particle Physics, and matter-antimatter annihilation the most energetic process in the universe. If they existed, everyday objects made of antimatter would look exactly like those made of ordinary matter, as would antimatter stars. We live surrounded by antimatter, since showers of matter and antimatter particles fall incessantly on the Earth's surface,some of them penetrating our buildings. Furthermore, many things around us - bananas, for example - actually emit antielectrons.This book first introduces the essentials of particle physics and the natureof particles and antiparticles.It describes thediscovery of antimatter particles and explains how they are produced, where they are found,and how antistars could be spotted;it also introducescosmic rays, particle accelerators, dark matter, dark energy and nuclear reactions in stars. The enigma of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in theUniverse is discussed as are the very real applications of antimatter in hospitals, in industry and in cutting-edge research and technology, Non-specialist readers will find here a wealth of fascinating and accessible information to deepen their appreciation of antimatter.
