Particle physics studies the fundamental constituents of matter and radiation and their interactions. Fundamental particles exhibit wave-particle duality and are represented using quantum state vectors in Hilbert space. All elementary particles and their interactions are understood using a quantum field theory, which is called the Standard Model. This model accounts for 61 particles, among which are 24 fermions, 8 gluons, the photon and W-, W+ and Z bosons. The Standard Model further describes the fundamental interactions of these particles, such as electromagnetic, strong and weak interactions. Particle physics has enriched human lives with the production of medical isotopes for use in external beam radiotherapy and PET imaging, development of touchscreen technology and the World Wide Web. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and principles in the field of particle physics. The topics included herein are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. This textbook is appropriate for particle physicists, high-energy physicists, phenomenologists, field theorists, students and other experts associated with this field.

Optics is a discipline of physics that deals with the study of behavior and properties of light. It examines the light's interactions with matter and also facilitates the construction of instruments that use and detect it. Optics explains the behavior of ultraviolet, visible and infrared light. It treats light as an electromagnetic wave and considers that other forms of electromagnetic radiations like microwaves, X-rays, and radio waves contain similar properties as light. Practical optics is practiced by using simplified models such as geometric optics that treats light as a collection of rays which travels in a straight line. These rays may bend when they pass through reflective surfaces. Another model of light is physical optics, which focuses on wave effects like diffraction and interference. Optical science is significant in many disciplines such as astronomy and various fields of engineering, medicine and photography. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of optics and the recent researches in this field. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the varied branches that fall under this category. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.

Gas turbine is a type of continuous combustion, internal combustion engine. The main elements that are common to all gas turbine engines are an upstream rotating gas compressor, a combustor and a downstream turbine on the same shaft as the compressor. Some of the most common types of gas turbines are jet engines, turboprop engines, aeroderivative gas turbines and industrial gas turbines. Gas turbine engineering deals with the design, selection, maintenance and operation of gas turbines. It studies the underlying principles of gas turbine operations as well as the economic considerations and implications of operating these machines. The topics included in this book on gas turbine engineering are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It is an upcoming field of science that has undergone rapid development over the past few decades. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.

The composite material is made up of the combination of two or more constituent materials that have distinct chemical and physical properties. When two different materials are combined they often produce a material that has different characteristics from either of the individual components. Each component remains separate within the finished structure. There are two categories of these constituent materials, matrix and reinforcement. The matrix material is used to support and surround the reinforcement materials by maintaining their relative positions. The reinforcements enhance the matrix properties by their special mechanical and physical properties. At least one portion of each constituent material should be added in the composition. Composite materials are lighter, stronger and less expensive than the traditionally used materials. They are often used in the construction of bridges, buildings, and other structures such as boat hulls and racing car bodies. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in the field of composite materials. Most of the topics introduced in it cover new techniques and applications of such materials. It is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for ex
