Introductory Muon Science
Introductory Muon Science by Kanetada Nagamine, published by Cambridge University Press on October 16, 2003, offers a detailed exploration of the applications of muons in various scientific and engineering fields. This edition spans 226 pages and is presented in English, providing readers with insights into the fundamental properties of muons and their interactions with surrounding particles.
The book delves into diverse areas of muon research, including muon catalysis for nuclear fusion and the use of muon spin probes to investigate the magnetic properties of materials. It also covers electron labeling techniques that enhance the understanding of electron transfer in proteins and discusses non-destructive element analysis of the human body. Additionally, the text examines how cosmic ray muons can be utilized to study the inner structure of volcanoes, making it a comprehensive resource for those interested in the intersection of science and physics.
Official synopsis Publisher
This volume describes applications of muons in science and engineering. Research using muons relies on their basic properties and their microscopic interactions with surrounding particles. Examples of muon research include muon catalysis for nuclear fusion; the application of muon spin probes to study microscopic magnetic properties of materials; electron labeling to help in the understanding of electron transfer in proteins; and non-destructive element analysis of the human body. Cosmic ray muons can also be used to study the inner structure of volcanoes.
