Description

Astroparticle Physics by Claus Grupen is a comprehensive textbook that explores the branch of astrophysics known as astroparticle physics. This second edition updates the field with recent discoveries in gravitational wave astronomy, neutrino astronomy, and astrobiology. The book begins with an introduction to elementary particles, their interactions, and detection techniques, before delving into cosmic rays and particle processes in astrophysics and cosmology. It also examines the early universe and presents new sections on the interface between particle physics and cosmic radiation. With its accessible approach and use of diagrams and scientific cartoons, Astroparticle Physics is an ideal resource for undergraduate students in physics or astronomy. The book includes a glossary and detailed index to support further study.
