Author Description

Feverish activity has taken place in the interface between particle physics and cosmology. This text provides an introduction and overview of the developments in this area of physics, including particle physics beyond the standard model and its interface with cosmology. It starts from the standard model and explains the most recent developments and their consequences in string theory, cosmology and neutrino physics. It also discusses recent and future experiments to test theoretical predictions. and at a level that can be appreciated by graduate students, this title provides a detailed description of the necessary particle physics before discussing the implications of particle physics on modern cosmological research. It would also be useful for mature researchers looking for an overview of recent progress in the field.
