  • 9781466572119 (hardcover : alk. paper)
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 523.1126 23 M234
Contents:
1. Introduction -- 2. Brief discussion on relativity -- 3. Particle physics basics -- 4. Basics of cosmology -- 5. Evidence of dark matter -- 6. Galactic halo of dark matter -- 7. Types of dark matter -- 8. Candidates of dark matter -- 9. Relic density -- 10. Direct detection of dark matter -- 11. Dark matter hunt -- 12. Indirect dark matter search -- 13. Other dark matter candidates.
Summary: This book tackles the rather recent but fast-growing subject of astroparticle physics, encompassing three main areas of fundamental physics: cosmology, particle physics, and astrophysics. Accordingly, the book discusses symmetries, conservation laws, relativity, and cosmological parameters and measurements, as well as the astrophysical behaviors of galaxies and galaxy clusters that indicate the presence of dark matter and the possible nature of dark matter distribution.
