Stars as Laboratories for Fundamental Physics
University of Chicago Press (Verlag)
978-0-226-70272-8 (ISBN)
Poised between two burgeoning fields, astrophysics and particle physics, this work describes what the study of stars reveals about fundamental particle interactions, presenting the many uses of stellar astrophysics for research in basic particle physics. The text focuses primarily on the properties and nongravitational interactions of elementary particles. Graphs and figures throughout the text model the explanations.
Georg G. Raffelt is a staff scientist in the Theory Group at the Max-Planck-Institute for Physics in Munich, and is a receiving editor for the journal Astroparticle Physics.
