Theory Of Multiparticle Production Processes

Theory of Multiparticle Production Processes

An objective evaluation of the classical and quantum approaches to the description of these processes. The topics covered include: experimental data, kinematic properties of inclusive spectra, statistical models, hydrodynamical theory, the multiperipheral model, scale invariance, the method of complex angular moments, inclusive processes and the Parton model.

Under The Spell Of Landau: When Theoretical Physics Was Shaping Destinies

This invaluable collection of memoirs and reviews on scientific activities of the most prominent theoretical physicists belonging to the Landau School — Landau, Migdal, Zeldovich, Smorodinsky, Ter-Martirosyan, Kirzhnits, Gribov, Larkin and Anselm — are being published in English for the first time.The main goal is to acquaint readers with the life and work of outstanding Soviet physicists who, to a large extent, shaped theoretical physics in the 1950s-70s. Many intriguing details have remained unknown beyond the “Iron Curtain” which was dismantled only with the fall of the USSR.
