Introduction to particle cosmology : the standard model of cosmology and its open problems / Cosimo Bambi and Alexandre D. Dolgov.

By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextSeries: UNITEXT for physicsPublication details: Berlin : Springer-Verlag, 2016.Description: xi, 251 p. : illustrations (some color).; 24 cmISBN:
  • 9783662480779
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 523.1 23 B199
Contents:
1. Introduction.- 2. General Relativity.- 3. The Standard Model of Particle Physics.- 4. Cosmological Models.- 5. Kinetics and thermodynamics in Cosmology.- 6. Inflation.- 7. Baryogenesis.- 8. Big Bang Nucleosynthesis.- 9. Dark Matter (DM).- 10. Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation.- 11. Dark Energy.- 12. Density Perturbations.- Appendices.
Summary: This book introduces the basic concepts of particle cosmology and covers all the main aspects of the Big Bang Model (expansion of the Universe, Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, Cosmic Microwave Background, large scale structures) and the search for new physics (inflation, baryogenesis, dark matter, dark energy). It also includes the majority of recent discoveries, such as the precise determination of cosmological parameters using experiments like WMAP and Planck, the discovery of the Higgs boson at LHC, the non-discovery to date of supersymmetric particles, and the search for the imprint of gravitational waves on the CMB polarization by Planck and BICEP.
