Physical description; 243 pages: illustrations, ports.; 22 cm. Notes; Includes bibliographical references (pages 211-229) and index. Contents; The hunt heats up -- A terrible thing -- Ghost chasing -- Sun underground -- Cosmic chameleons -- Exploding stars -- Vanishing acts -- Seeds of a revolution. Summary; "Detective thriller meets astrophysics in this adventure into neutrinos and the scientists who pursue them For more than eighty years, brilliant and eccentric scientists around the world have been searching for the incredibly small bits of matter we call neutrinos. Trillions of these ghostly particles pass through our bodies every second, but they are so pathologically shy that neutrino hunters have to use Olympic-size pools deep underground and a gigantic cube of Antarctic ice to catch just a handful. Neutrinos may hold the secrets to the nature of antimatter and what the universe was like just seconds after the big bang, but they are extremely elusive and difficult to pin down--much like the adventurous scientists who doggedly pursue them. In Neutrino Hunters, the renowned astrophysicist and award-winning author Ray Jayawardhana takes us on a thrilling journey into the shadowy world of neutrinos and the colorful lives of those who chase them. Demystifying particle science along the way, Jayawardhana tells a detective story with cosmic implications--interweaving the tales of the irascible Casanova, Wolfgang Pauli; the troubled genius Ettore Majorana, who disappeared without a trace; and Bruno Pontecorvo, whose defection to the Soviet Union caused a Cold War ruckus. Ultimately, Jayawardhana reveals just how significant these fast-moving particles are to the world we live in, and why the next decade of neutrino hunting will redefine how we think about physics, cosmology, and our lives on Earth".

Includes List of Other Books by Ray Jayawardhana; Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote by Isaac Asimov; Time Line; Glossary; Notes; Acknowledgments; Index and A Note About the Author. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. "The incredibly small bits of matter we call neutrinos may hold the secret to why antimatter is so rare, how mighty stars explode as supernovae, what the universe was like just seconds after the big bang, and even the inner workings of our own planet. For more than eighty years, adventurous minds from around the world have been chasing these ghostly particles, trillions of which pass through our bodies every second. Extremely elusive and difficult to pin down, neutrinos are not unlike the brilliant and eccentric scientists who doggedly pursue them. In Neutrino Hunters, the renowned astrophysicist and award-winning writer Ray Jayawardhana takes us on a thrilling journey into the shadowy world of neutrinos and the colorful lives of those who seek them. Demystifying particle science along the way, Jayawardhana tells a detective story with cosmic implications - interweaving tales of the sharp-witted theorist Wolfgang Pauli; the troubled genius Ettore Majorana; the harbinger of the atomic age Enrico Fermi; the notorious Cold War defector Bruno Pontecorvo; and the dynamic dream team of Marie and Pierre Curie. Then there are the scientists of today who have caught the neutrino bug, and whose experimental investigations stretch from a working nickel mine in Ontario to a long tunnel through a mountain in central Italy, from a nuclear waste site in New Mexico to a bay on the South China Sea, and from Olympic size pools deep underground to a gigantic cube of Antarctic ice - called, naturally, IceCube. As Jayawardhana recounts a captivating saga of scientific discovery and celebrates a glorious human quest, he reveals why the next decade of neutrino hunting will redefine how we think about physics, cosmology, and our lives on Earth." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. We are living in an extraordinary age of discovery. After millennia of musings and a century of false claims, our knowledge of other worlds has suddenly exploded. Since 1995, astronomers have found hundreds of planets orbiting other stars discoveries that have surprised us and challenged our views many times over. At the crux of the astronomers pursuit is one basic question: Is our solar system, with planets in circular orbits, gas giants in the outer realm and at least one warm, wet, rocky world teeming with life, the exception or the norm? Its an important and timely question for every one of us. Astronomers expect to find alien earths by the dozens within the next few years and to examine them for telltale signs of life before this decade is out. If they succeed, the ramifications for all areas of human thought and endeavor from religion and philosophy to art and biology are profound, perhaps revolutionary. Whats at stake is the true measure of our own place in the cosmos. In Strange New Worlds, renowned astronomer Ray Jayawardhana offers an insiders look at the cutting-edge science of todays planet hunters, our prospects for discovering alien life, and the debates and controversies at the forefront of extra-solar planet research.

Octavo; hardcover; 243pp. Dustwrapper. Remainder. New. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. Every second of the day, a hundred trillion neutrinos pass through your body - fortunately without effect. It's like drinking alcohol-free lager. Indeed, during your life, perhaps one neutrino will interact with an atom in your body, says astrophysicist Ray Jayawardhana in this absorbing, elegant history of the hunt to find the neutrino. The particle - which has virtually no mass - may be 'pathologically shy', he says, but it is also happens to be of immense importance to science for 'whenever anything cool happens in the universe, neutrinos are usually involved'. Today we use them to study supernovae and the births of black holes and to understand how matter first formed in the universe. Our past reliance on electromagnetic radiation - from radio waves to light to gamma rays - to study the heavens is now being supplemented by neutrino astronomy. The trick, of course, is to find ways to detect these elusive little entities, which - given the rarity of their interactions with normal matter - is not an easy business. Indeed, researchers have had to go to great pains to pinpoint neutrinos, constructing detectors deep underground so that spurious signals triggered by cosmic rays - which constantly batter Earth's atmosphere - do not produce false readings in their instruments. The end result has been the creation of an array of extraordinary devices in some of the planet's most remote places: IceCube, which is made up of several thousand photo-detectors buried a mile beneath the south pole; the Super-Kamiokande observatory, which consists of a tank of 50,000 tonnes of ultra-pure water built beneath Mount Kamioka in Japan; and the Sudbury neutrino observatory, which is situated more than a mile underground in Creighton mine, operated by Vale, in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. To date, these detectors have spotted only modest numbers of neutrinos. Nevertheless, these observations have been of enormous importance, showing that when huge stars erupt as supernovae, they emit vast amounts of neutrinos in ways that have precisely confirmed astronomers' theories about the nuclear reactions involved in these stellar explosions. Future observations should provide further insights. The neutrino was originally postulated, in 1931, almost as 'a form of scientific witchcraft', says Jayawardhana. 'When scientists couldn't account for energy that went missing during radioactive decay, one theorist found it necessary to invent a new particle to account for that missing energy,' he adds. The theorist was the physicist Wolfgang Pauli. Many other scientists were dubious - including the Nobel laureate Paul Dirac and British astronomer Sir Arthur Eddington - because every effort to detect neutrinos invariably produced negative results. Then in 1953, two US scientists, Frederick Reines and Clyde Cowan, showed in an experiment they dubbed Project Poltergeist that gamma ray bursts observed by their instruments must have been caused by neutrinos colliding with atoms inside their detectors. The neutrino had been uncovered. Reines was eventually given a Nobel prize in 1995. Cowan had died 21 years earlier. It is an intriguing story, deftly told by Jayawardhana with commendable brevity and clarity. The Neutrino Hunters is comprehensive without being overburdened with detail or weighed down with too much theory, while the book's neat pen portraits of the men and women who tracked down the poltergeist particle give it added depth. Think of this as a great ghost story and a thumping good piece of science writing rolled into one. - Robin McKie 9780374220631.
