Book Description
This volume presents the proceedings from the 12th Florida Workshop in Astronomy and Physics. The subject of long-range correlations in astrophysical systems is viewed from the differing perspectives of astronomers, mathematicians, plasma physicists and other investigators in condensed-matter physics and statistical mechanics. Among topics considered are long-range order in gravitational systems, gravitational correlations in systems with short-range forces in nonequilibrium states, pattern formation die to instability and bifurcation, fluid-type cellular automata without detailed balance, clustering of granular media, fluctuation-induced forces, and generic self-organization.

Long-range Correlations in Astrophysical Systems
Dark Matter in Astrophysics and Particle Physics
Author: Hans Volker Klapdor-Kleingrothaus
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814293784
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 603
Book Description
Dark matter and dark energy are one of the central mysteries in modern physics, although modern astrophysical and cosmological observations and particle physics experiments can and will provide vital clues in uncovering its true nature. The DARK 2009 Conference brought together World?s leading researchers in both astrophysics and particle physics, providing an opportunity and platform to present their latest results to the community. The topics covered are wide-ranging, from terrestrial underground experiments to space experimental efforts to search for dark matter, and on the theoretical aspects, from the generating of a fifth family as origin of dark matter, extra dimensions and dark matter to non-standard Wigner classes and dark matter. One of the new highlights was certainly a possible connection between a neutrino mass as observed by nuclear double beta decay and the dark energy. Highly important and relevant in its field, the book presents a vital snapshot of the sometimes seemingly disparate areas of dark matter research and offers an exciting overview of current ideas and future directions.

Astrophysical Sources of High Energy Particles and Radiation
Author: M.M. Shapiro
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401005605
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
A wide range of topics are covered, ranging from supernovae to active galactic nuclei, cosmic gamma rays to neutrinos and dark matter. The basic emphasis is on physics / astrophysics and experimental / observational techniques, scientific implications of current results, and prospects for future advances. The fields surveyed are in rapid development and the exploration of our high energy universe is proceeding rapidly, with exciting new discoveries. What unifies much of the new data is the idea of particle acceleration to enormous energies and the subsequent interactions of the particles with the local medium. It this focus that makes the book both timely and an important contribution to the field.

An Introduction to the Theory of Point Processes
Author: D.J. Daley
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387498354
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 591
Book Description
This is the second volume of the reworked second edition of a key work on Point Process Theory. Fully revised and updated by the authors who have reworked their 1988 first edition, it brings together the basic theory of random measures and point processes in a unified setting and continues with the more theoretical topics of the first edition: limit theorems, ergodic theory, Palm theory, and evolutionary behaviour via martingales and conditional intensity. The very substantial new material in this second volume includes expanded discussions of marked point processes, convergence to equilibrium, and the structure of spatial point processes.

A Primer on Complex Systems
Author: Raúl Sánchez
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9402412298
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
The purpose of this book is to illustrate the fundamental concepts of complexity and complex behavior and the best methods to characterize this behavior by means of their applications to some current research topics from within the fields of fusion, earth and solar plasmas. In this sense, it is a departure from the many books already available that discuss general features of complexity. The book is divided in two parts. In the first part the most important properties and features of complex systems are introduced, discussed and illustrated. The second part discusses several instances of possible complex phenomena in magnetized plasmas and some of the analysis tools that were introduced in the first part are used to characterize the dynamics in these systems. A list of problems is proposed at the end of each chapter. This book is intended for graduate and post-graduate students with a solid college background in mathematics and classical physics, who intend to work in the field of plasma physics and, in particular, plasma turbulence. It will also be of interest to senior scientists who have so far approached these systems and problems from a different perspective and want a new fresh angle.
