"This state-of-the-art textbook assembles material from various sources in a systematic and concise way for a modern course on the physics of magnetically confined plasmas aimed at graduate and advanced undergraduate students. It both presents the fundamental theories and method…
This book begins with a very readable survey "The Sun Today" by J.-C. Pecker. It is followed by thorough reviews from leading experts covering theory and observations. The focus shifts from the solar core, studied via neutrino emissions and helioseismology, through the interface…
The workshop was devoted to a summary of recent experimental and theoretical research on N* physics. Special emphasis was given to the information that photo- and electro-production of nucleon resonances can provide on the non-perturbative regime of quantum chromodynamics. Discu…
