In classical physics, an effect cannot occur before its cause. In Einstein's theory of special relativity, causality means that an effect cannot occur from a cause that is not in the back (past) light cone of that event.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe books cover the useful physical relations inferred by unitarity and causality. A famous example is the Kramers-Kronig relation for the refractive index of a gas or dilute medium. For example, in Chapter 3 generalises the Kramers-Kronig relation to relativistic medium, such as CMB (photon gas). These relations are extensively also used in particle and nuclear physics. Especially useful are the so-called \"sum rules\", such as the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn (GDH) or the Baldin sum rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author notes that the first edition is too brief. In his teaching practice, he sees that is is challenging to use as a standalone text. He intends to improve the explanations of many topics that students found particularly challenging. The additional material will make the book more timely, self-contained, and logically complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eModern book on a timely subject\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClassroom friendly and built on newly developed courses taught at a major Physics Department in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdvanced material written in simple non-technical language\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes pedagogical examples and discussions of the current forefront research\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.27 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 24, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53194149921075,"sku":"9780750334327","price":55.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/08fOuXF-F89780750334327.webp?v=1775113759","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/causality-rules-second-edition-dispersion-theory-in-non-elementary-particle-physics-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
