UNDERGRADUATE TEXTS IN PHYSICS ASTROPARTICLE ...

This second  revised and thoroughly updated edition of the successful textbook by Claus Grupen
describes the branch of astrophysics known as astroparticle physics. Using experimental methods
known from cosmic ray and particle physics  astroparticle physics investigates processes of
highest energies taking place in the universe. The new edition reports on progress made by
recent discoveries in gravitational wave astronomy and neutrino astronomy (including all
details needed to understand recent discoveries in multi-messenger experiments) and also
astrobiology. After a historical introduction to the basics of elementary particles the author
describes their interactions and the relevant detection techniques. The main body of the book
concerns cosmic rays as well as particle processes in astrophysics and cosmology including the
physics of the early universe. The book provides an orientation in the field of astroparticle
physics that many beginners might be looking for.It also presents new sections exploring the
interface between particle physics and cosmic radiation and illustrates the impact of particle
physics discoveries to astroparticle physics. The physics is presented using little mathematics
and the results are illustrated by many diagrams and illustrative scientific cartoons which
ease the reading of the book. Closing the gap between expert and popular level  the book is
highly recommended for undergraduate students in physics or astronomy. It also includes an
extensive glossary and a detailed index.
