Description for Particle Physics of Brane Worlds and Extra Dimensions (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics)
hardcover. A comprehensive account of new models of extra dimensions which form an important part of present-day high-energy physics. Series: Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics. Num Pages: 400 pages, 51 b/w illus. 8 tables. BIC Classification: PHP; PHU. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 247 x 174. .
The possibility that we live in a higher-dimensional world with spatial dimensions greater than three started with the early work of Kaluza and Klein. However, in addressing experimental constraints, early model-builders were forced to compactify these extra dimensions to very tiny scales. With the development of brane-world scenarios it became possible to consider novel compactifications which allow the extra dimensions to be large or to provide observable effects of these dimensions at experimentally accessible energy scales. This book provides a comprehensive account of these recent developments, keeping the high-energy physics implications in focus. After an historical survey of the idea ... Read more

Reviews for Particle Physics of Brane Worlds and Extra Dimensions (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics)
'The book offers a detailed introduction to the topic of extra dimensions within the context of fundamental physics. It consists of fourteen chapters … clearly aimed at research students with an interest in both fundamental physics and exploring the possibility of extra dimensions. It is a very interesting book.' John Bartlett, Mathematics Today
