Ascent Phase Analysis and AMPERES

By: S. Enguehard

We address the physics and technology factors involved in developing and fielding a directed energy ascent phase missile defense system based on an high energy laser on an airborne platform. A comparison with boost-phase intercept is included.

A Short History of Digital Signal Processing (DSP)

By: G. Hatfield

Digital Signal Processing has existed in main-stream computing for less than 30 years. Yet it's revolutionary implications have empowered an entire generation of previously impossible devices from DVD players to military radars. It's history is no less scintillating, as competing designers vied to change the computing landscape forever.

Quantum Field Theory of Point Particles and Strings (Frontiers in Physics)

By: Brian Hatfield

The purpose of this book is to introduce string theory without assuming any background in quantum field theory. Part I of this book follows the development of quantum field theory for point particles, while Part II introduces strings. All of the tools and concepts that are needed to quantize strings are developed first for point particles. Thus, Part I presents the main framework of quantum field theory and provides for a coherent development of the generalization and application of quantum field theory for point particles to strings.

Feynman Lectures on Gravitation

Edited by: Brian Hatfield

Based on the in-class lectures of Richard Feynman, this book covers a wide range of topics in physics and provides a window to the thoughts of a brilliant Nobel laureate.

The Feynman Lectures on Gravitation are based on notes prepared during a course on gravitational physics that Richard Feynman taught at Caltech during the 196263 academic year. For several years prior to these lectures, Feynman thought long and hard about the fundamental problems in gravitational physics, yet he published very little. These lectures represent a useful record of his viewpoints and some of his insights into gravity and its application to cosmology, superstars, wormholes, and gravitational waves at that particular time. The lectures also contain a number of fascinating digressions and asides on the foundations of physics and other issues.

Characteristically, Feynman took and untraditional non-geometric approach to gravitation and general relativity based on the underlying quantum aspects of gravity. Hence, these lectures contain a unique pedagogical account of the development of Einstein's general relativity as the inevitable result of the demand for a self-consistent theory of a massless spin-2 field (the graviton) coupled to the energy-momentum tensor of matter. This approach also demonstrates the intimate and fundamental connection between gauge invariance and the Principle of Equivalence.
