About this ebook

This book addresses various aspects of physics, using Quantum oscillation (QO) as a common denominator. QO plays an important role in many aspects of physics, such as the Weinberg angle, Caribbo angle, neutrino oscillation, K0 oscillation and CP violation, mass generation by the Higgs field, hadron mass pattern, lepton anomalous magnetic moment, spin precession, hydrogen HI line, etc.Usually, these subjects are taught separately. As such, this book allows readers to learn about a wide range of physics subjects in a unified manner and to gain farther-reaching perspectives. The readers may be surprised at the fact that different looking physics are actually closely related with each other. They will also find essential information on quantum mechanics at the heart from many concrete examples. Though the book is mainly intended for graduate students of particle, nuclear and astrophysics, undergraduate students and researchers will also benefit from the content.

About the author

The author, Dr. Fumihiko Suekane, is a professor of Research Center for Neutrino Science, Tohoku University, Japan. He is an elementary particle physicist. He contributed to the discovery of the reactor neutrino oscillation as a core member of the KamLAND experiment. He was awarded the Koshiba prize and Breakthrough group prize for the achievement. Recently he suceeded to measure the last neutrino mixing angle Theta-13 He is also interested in teaching intuitive and concrete particle physics and have written some text books. He won Blaise Pascal Chairs (BPC) by Promotion of Neutrino Science and was invited as a guest researcher at Laboratoire AstroParticule & Cosmologie, Paris, in 2017- 2018. This book is an outcome of his activities as BPC while he was staying at APC lab.
