MAGNETISM OF ELEMENTARY PARTICLES

This book presents the physical concepts of the magnetic properties of elementary particles—electrons, positrons, muons, protons, neutrons, and other hadrons—as well as electronic atomic shells and nuclei. Understanding the magnetic properties of these microscopic particles is interesting in itself and provides valuable information about their internal structures. Topics such as anomalous magnetic moments for leptons and hadrons are covered in detail, as is the current state of theory and experimental searches for the Dirac magnetic monopole. Some nonlinear quantum electrodynamics phenomena in a magnetic field are briefly discussed.

The book is intended for researchers, engineers, and undergraduate students specializing in atomic, nuclear, and solid-state physics and related fields.
