LEPTON DIPOLE
MOMENTS
edited by B Lee Roberts (Boston University, USA) & William
J Marciano (Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA)
Your Price 978-981-4271-83-7: US$145 / £109 US$108.75 / £81.75
This book provides a self-contained description of the
measurements of the magnetic dipole moments of the electron and muon,
along with a discussion of the measurements of the fine structure
constant, and the theory associated with magnetic and electric dipole
moments. Also included are the searches for a permanent electric dipole
moment of the electron, muon, neutron and atomic nuclei. The related
topic of the transition moment for lepton flavor violating processes,
such as neutrinoless muon or tauon decays, and the search for such
processes are included as well. The papers, written by many of the
leading authors in this field, cover both the experimental and
theoretical aspects of these topics.

University, USA)

The book is the culmination of the authors' many years of
teaching and research in atomic physics, nuclear and particle physics,
and modern physics. It is also a crystallization of their intense
passion and strong interest in the history of physics and the
philosophy of science.
The book gives students a broad perspective of the current
understandings of the basic structures of matter from atoms, nucleus to
leptons, quarks, and gluons along with the essential introductory
quantum mechanics and special relativity. Fundamentals aside, the book
retrospects the historical development and examines the challenging
future directions of nuclear and particle physics. Interwoven within
the content are up-to-date examples of very recent developments and
future plans that show in detail how the techniques and ideas of
atomic, nuclear, and particle physics have been used and are being used
to solve important problems in basic and applied areas of physics,
chemistry, and biology that are closely linked to the prevailing major
societal problems in medicine, energy resources, new custom-made
materials and environmental pollution, as well as areas that encroach
the broad cultural and historical interest. The uncertain path of
success and failure, opportunities seized and missed, and the axiom of
probability and scientists' intuition in the unfolding human drama of
scientific discovery are vividly presented. Throughout the highly
perception book, readers, especially the students are encouraged to
reflect on problems and ask questions.
