The electric dipole moment challenge (EDM) measures a non-zero proton EDM value and this book suggests how the challenge can be met. Any measurably large proton EDM would violate the standard model. The method to be employed uses an intense beam of "frozen spin" protons circulating for hour-long ...

Quantum field theory
While there are many good books in particle physics, there are very few non-specialist comprehensive descriptions of quantum field theory. The intention of this short book is to offer a guided tour of that innermost topic of theoretical physics, in plain words and avoiding the mathematical appara...

Detecting the stochastic gravitational-wave background
The stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) is by far the most difficult source of gravitational radiation detect. At the same time, it is the most interesting and intriguing one. This book describes the initial detection of the SGWB and describes the underlying mathematics behind one of ...
