Group Theory for High Energy Physicists

Group Theory for High Energy Physicists

Although group theory has played a significant role in the development of various disciplines of physics there are few recent books that start from the beginning and then build on to consider applications of group theory from the point of view of high energy physicists. Group Theory for High Energy Physicists fills that role. It presents groups especially Lie groups and their characteristics in a way that is easily comprehensible to physicists. The book first introduces the concept of a group and the characteristics that are imperative for developing group theory as applied to high energy physics. It then describes group representations since matrix representations of a group are often more convenient to deal with than the abstract group itself. With a focus on continuous groups the text analyzes the root structure of important groups and obtains the weights of various representations of these groups. It also explains how symmetry principles associated with group theoretical techniques can be used to interpret experimental results and make predictions. This concise gentle introduction is accessible to undergraduate and graduate students in physics and mathematics as well as researchers in high energy physics. It shows how to apply group theory to solve high energy physics problems.

Tubular String Characterization in High Temperature High Pressure Oil and Gas Wells

Tubular String Characterization in High Temperature High Pressure Oil and Gas Wells

High temperature high oil pressure oil and gas well completion testing have always been a technical challenge and basic theoretical research is one of the key factors needed to ensure a successful completion test. The completion test basic theory includes: a stress analysis of the completion string completion string buckling behavior and temperature and pressure distribution prediction. The completion string is the main bearing and power transmission component for oil and gas well operations and production and it is required to take on a combination of loads which result in completion string deformation. Because of these complex relationships completion string stress analysis has become increasingly more complicated. This book discusses the characters of tubular strings in HTHP (High Temperature - High Pressure) oil and gas wells. These characters include the mechanical behavior of tubular strings and the temperature and pressure variation of tubular strings in different conditions. Mathematical models are established for different conditions and solution existence and uniqueness of some models is discussed providing algorithms corresponding to the different models. Numerical experiments are presented to verify the validity of models and the feasibility of algorithms and the impact of the parameters of models for oil and gas wells is also discussed. This book is written for production and testing engineers to provide them with the tools to deal more effectively with the numerical decisions they have to take and for researchers and technicians in petroleum and gas testing and production engineering.

High Temperature Electronics

High Temperature Electronics

The development of electronics that can operate at high temperatures has been identified as a critical technology for the next century. Increasingly engineers will be called upon to design avionics automotive and geophysical electronic systems requiring components and packaging reliable to 200 °C and beyond. Until now however they have had no single resource on high temperature electronics to assist them. Such a resource is critically needed since the design and manufacture of electronic components have now made it possible to design electronic systems that will operate reliably above the traditional temperature limit of 125 °C. However successful system development efforts hinge on a firm understanding of the fundamentals of semiconductor physics and device processing materials selection package design and thermal management together with a knowledge of the intended application environments. High Temperature Electronics brings together this essential information and presents it for the first time in a unified way.

Decision Modes in Complex Task Environments

Decision Modes in Complex Task Environments

Despite intense research on decision-making in action we still know little about when decision-makers rely on deliberate vs. intuitive decision-making in decision situations under complexity and uncertainty. Building on default-interventionist dual-processing theory this book studies decision-making modes (deliberate vs. intuitive) in complex task environments contingent on perceived complexity experience and decision style preference. We find that relatively inexperienced decision-makers respond to increases in subjective complexity with an increase in deliberation and tend to follow their decision style preference. Experienced decision-makers are less guided by their decision preference and respond to increases in subjective complexity only minimally. This book contributes to a developing stream of research linking decision-making with intra-personal and environmental properties and fosters our understanding of the conditions under which decision-makers rely on intuitive vs. deliberate decision modes. In doing so we go one step further towards a comprehensive theory of decision-making in action. | Decision Modes in Complex Task Environments
