Magnetic Fields in Galaxies
Magnetic fields are a major agent in the interstellar medium. They contribute significantly to the total pressure which balances the gas disk against...
-
Magnetic Fields in Galaxy Systems, Clusters and Beyond
The discovery of significant magnetic fields beyond our Milky Way was unwittingly made in the early 1950’s when new “discrete” cosmic radio sources...
-
Stellar Magnetic Fields
Stellar magnetic fields are directly detected or inferred across the whole Hertzsprung--Russell Diagram. Attention in this chapter is concentrated on...
-
Magnetic Fields in Diffuse HI and Molecular Clouds
The diffuse interstellar HI is the matrix within which many molecular clouds reside and the medium that soaks up the energy injected by sources such...

Magnetic Fields in the Early Universe
A substantial magnetic field could conceivably have been generated in the ultra-early Universe. However, the relevant physics at those eras is very...

Searching the Trans-Neptunian Region
The Edgeworth-Kuiper-Belt is considered to be the remnant of the formation disk of the planetary system around the Sun. For about 8 years the...
-
Inflation
The optimistic picture for the explanation of the baryon-antibaryon asymmetry that we apparently obtain with grand unified theories has one serious...
-
Standard Synthesis
One of the two most important observations that indicate a hot past of the universe is the universal distribution of helium and deuterium. Deuterium,...

Basics
Telescopes of all kinds look deep into the sky and find planets, stars, the Milky Way, other galaxies, clusters of galaxies, the large-scale...

Topological Quasi-Particles
The subject of topology is the set of properties of relative positions that can be defined without the use of metric properties. A metric induces a...
-
Anthropic Aspects
Cosmology attempts to understand the observable metagalaxy as a representative part of the universe and as a necessary consequence of the laws that...
-
Higher Dimensions
The invariance group of mechanics and field theory tells us that space has three dimensions, and space-time four. Nearly all physical theory uses...

Introduction
The state of a physical system is the mathematical description of our knowledge of it, and provides information on its future and past. A state...

2 Quantum Tomographic Methods
The state of a physical system is the mathematical object that provides a complete information on the system. The knowledge of the state is...

9 Quantum Operations on Qubitsand Their Characterization
Information encoded in quantum system has to obey rules of quantum physics which impose strict bounds on state estimation and on possible...

The Why and Howof Radioactive-Beam Research
Research with radioactive ion beams has entered in the last decade a new era with the advent of energetic beams of radioactive nuclei which can...
-
Traps for Rare Isotopes
Ion traps are widely used in fundamental and applied research. Over the past decade they have also gained significance as tools in experimental...
-
Experiments with Radioactive Nuclear Beams
These lectures concern experiments with radioactive ion beams. After a brief historical overview, the different production methods for radioactive...
-
Nuclear Reactions with Exotic Beams
We review different aspects of the physics involved in reactions induced by exotic nuclear beams. These include, in particular, effects associated...

Survey of Current Theoretical Schemes
With a view to the growing interest in heavy-ion stop**, theoretical schemes have been developed over the past few years aiming at calculating...
