Biophysics Graduate Student Handbook
Biophysics is a highly integrated discipline that encompasses nearly all aspects of biomedical science, from the interaction of various forms of energy with biologically relevant molecules to the mechanical forces involved with limb movement in an intact organism. What makes distinguishes biophysics from other disciplines of biomedical science is its app ...
Calorimetry for Particle Physics
Calorimetry has become a well-understood, powerful, and versatile measurement method. Besides perfecting this technique to match increasingly demanding operation at high-energy particle accelerators, physicists are developing low-temperature calorimeters to extend detection down to ever lower energies, and atmospheric and deep-sea calorimeters to scrutin ...
A Cultural History of Physics
An exceptional book such as this could have been created only under exception - al circumstances. My father was a working physicist and a beloved university profes - sor who taught a whole generation of Hungarian electrical engineers. His textbooks on the foundations of electrical engineering have been translated into many languages. Yet, in the politica ...
A Publication of the Forum on Physics and Society
We have a rich array of material for this edition of P&S. We open with some words from incoming Forum Chair Puspha Bhat on the role of FPS in serving the physics community and some ideas for future initiatives. Also in Forum News, elections to the FPS Executive Committee will be complete by the time this edition reaches you, but we record for posterity t ...
Electroweak Model and Constraints on New Physics
The standard model of the electroweak interactions (SM) [1] is based on the gauge group SU(2) × U(1), with gauge bosons Wi µ, i = 1, 2, 3, and Bµ for the SU(2) and U(1) factors, respectively, and the corresponding gauge coupling constants g and g ′ . The left-handed fermion fields of the i th fermion family transform as doublets Ψi = µ νi ℓ − i ¶ and µ u ...
Introduction to the Physics of Higgs Bosons
A basic introduction to the physics of the Standard Model Higgs boson is given. We discuss Higgs boson production in e+e− and hadronic collisions and survey search techniques at future accelerators. The Higgs bosons of the minimal SUSY model are briefly considered. Indirect limits from triviality arguments, vacuum stability and precision measurements at ...

Get to know Engineering Physics. This program allows students to apply the knowledge of fundamental physical principles underlying modern technology and processes. You will study a strategic combination of math, physics and engineering courses from a chosen specialty area. Courses in quantum mechanics, laser optics and nanotechnology will help prepare yo ...
Atmospheric Physics Lab Work Evaporation
In the first part of this experiment, the relationship between wind speed and evaporation is investigated. We measure the evaporation under idealized conditions using a small wind tunnel. We then compare our results from the experiment with calculated values for the evaporation over the sea. In the second part of the experiment, we have a look at the win ...
