Links to physics papers search sites

    Note: the following links will take you to places where to find specialized articles published in physics journals. Most of them are beyond the level of this course.

    SPIRES A search engine for physics papers
    One can search by topic with the keywords 'find t big bang' for example. If you are after a specific author, 'find a author_name' will do it. You can combine several search options like topic and date after some year. Look at the examples for more detailed search options.
    A preprint and paper search engine
    A collection of references on ultra high energy neutrino astronomy
    Links to references on all aspects of neutrino physics

Miscellaneous

On-line physics enciclopediae

Books/articles

For topics related to the whole course:

"Spaceship Neutrino", Christine Sutton. Cambridge University Press. (Copies in Ångström library)

Topics of lectures 1 and 2:

"Celebrating the Neutrino" Los Alamos Science. number 25, 1997.

"Neutrino masses and oscillations"(ps file), Janet Conrad. Lecture given in the NATO summer school, 2000.
A good graduate level introduction to neutrinos and oscillations. Chapter 1 can be worth reading for this course.

"Nuclear and particle Physics", W. S. C Williams. Oxford University Press. (Copies in Ångström library)
(Chapter 12 if you need a more mathematical, but not advanced, description of the weak interaction and neutrino properties)



Topics of lectures 3 and 4:

"Neutrino Astrophysics", Various authors.      pdf file
A very complete and accesible report written by the American Physicsl Society to funding agencies (that is, politicians) explaining what and why is important in neutrino astrophysics

The Growth of Inflation ( pdf file)
A basic description of inflation and how it came about.

"Principles of Physical Cosmology", P. J. E. Peebles. Princeton University Press. (Copy in Ångström library)
Contains about anything on modern cosmology. Text at the graduate level with detailed mathematical explanations.

"Theories of Gamma-ray Bursts", P. Mészáros.
     Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics Vol. 40, 137. pdf file
Text at the graduate level which summarizes GRB knowledge.

"Non-baryonic Dark Matter: Observational Evidence and Detection Methods", L. Bergström
     Rep. Prog. Phys. 63, 793, 2000. pdf file
A bit advanced summary of the status of the dark matter problem and what candidates are relevant and why. Sections 1 to 7 only (8 if you are brave enough to dive into supersymmetry). The rest is beyond the level and/or scope of this course.
