Dark Matter (eBook, PDF)

An Introduction

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Encompassing cosmology, particle physics, and astrophysics, this book discusses symmetries, conservation laws, relativity, and cosmological parameters and measurements. It considers the astrophysical behavior of galaxies and galaxy clusters, evidence of galactic dark matter, and the possible nature of dark matter distribution; introduces theories such as supersymmetry and extra dimensions; explores particle candidates for cold dark matter beyond the standard model; explains calculation of relic density of a dark matter species; and reviews dark matter scattering, annihilation, and the latest dark matter experiments and techniques.
