Bücher von Georges Ripka

This history of atomic and nuclear physics shows how technological advances have enabled physicists to probe the physical properties of nuclei, offering the reader a clear understanding of how theory is inextricably intertwined with the progress of technology.

Physicists who wish to understand the modeling of confinement of quantum chromodynamics, as exhibited by dual superconductors, will find this book an excellent introduction. The author focuses on the models themselves, especially the Landau--Ginzburg model of a dual superconductor, also called the Dual Abelian Higgs model.
