Synopsis

Relic Gravitons delves into the cosmic backgrounds of stochastic gravitational waves, exploring their potential as a unique source of information on the early physical conditions of the Universe close to the Planck epoch. Drawing on various lecture notes, articles, and reviews since the early 1990s, the monograph presents a topical account of the subject. The aim is to offer students and practitioners a useful tool for understanding the most recent developments of a lively field that is now thriving also thanks to forthcoming observational data.While the detection of diffuse backgrounds of gravitational radiation might improve current bounds on the supplementary polarizations of gravitational waves, the author explores across the sixteen chapters of the monograph the sensitivity of cosmic gravitons to the new physics beyond the standard lore of fundamental interactions. It is argued that the discovery of relic gravitons may trigger a paradigm shift whose implications are yet to be fully understood.In different respects, the physics of relic gravitons bridges the microworld of the standard model of fundamental interactions with the macroworld of gravity and cosmology. The ultimate purpose of this book is then to provide, at once, a systematic and self-contained presentation which is still sorely lacking in the current literature.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Massimo Giovannini has extensively researched, taught and written on high-energy physics, gravitation and cosmology. He is a senior research staff at the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN, Milan-Bicocca, Italy) and habilitated full professor in high-energy physics and astronomy; he is also a regular visiting scientist at CERN. From 1992 to 1995, he did his PhD at the Theoretical Physics Division at CERN. He was a research associate at the Universidad Complutense, Madrid (1995–1996), and senior research associate at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge (1996–1998). He then moved to Boston (Tufts University, 1992–2000), and later, worked at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland (2000–2002). Between 2002 and 2008, he was again at CERN, first as a fellow and then as a visiting scientist. In the past he held a grant ("From the Planck scale to the Hubble Radius") of the Enrico Fermi Centre in Rome. Throughout his career, he published over 200 papers and served in the advisory panels of various journals. He also published a book, A Primer on the Physics of the Cosmic Microwave Background, which was well received by the community.
