Reviews
From the reviews: "In astroparticle physics techniques known from particle physics experiments are applied to investigate the universe ... . Grupen presents an introduction and overview of the main ideas and concepts of this rapidly growing field of research. Written in a very clear and readable fashion it is accessible to a broad audience. ... is enriched with many diagrams and illustrations, increasing the readability of the text. ... Grupen's book is really a must-have for anyone looking for a good starting point in ... astroparticle physics." (Michael Tytgat, Physicalia, Vol. 28 (4-6), 2006) "Astroparticle Physics is a timely attempt to describe the status of a booming field at the interface of astrophysics, particle physics, and cosmology that has produced so many exciting results over the past few years. The format of the book, with the wide margin for keywords and figures, the extensive glossary, and the problems for each section (with detailed solutions), make it very readable and provide a good starting point for undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in astroparticle physics." (Johannes Knapp, The Observatory, Vol. 126 (1192), 2006) "This book ... covers a wide range and requires a good grounding in modern physics to be useful. ... Included are a mathematical appendix and an appendix on the results from statistical physics necessary to understand the thermodynamics of the early universe. These additions make the book a good introduction to this rapidly moving subject. Each chapter offers problems with solutions, and a 26-page comprehensive index and references are included. A very useful book for the right reader. Summing Up: Recommended." (K. W. Ogilvie, CHOICE, March, 2006) "Claus Grupen provides a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the main ideas and terminology of the study of elementary particles originating from astrophysical objects. ... The style and presentation of the materialmake the book accessible to a broad audience ... . A good selection of simple exercises with solution increases its pedagogical value and makes it suitable as a textbook for an undergraduate course. Non-specialists who want to follow the main issues of current research in the field ... also benefit from Grupen's book." (Marcello Lissia, CERN Courier, Vol. 46 (1), 2006) "In the present context, Astroparticle Physics consists of the studies of charged cosmic rays, neutrinos, gamma rays, X-rays and cosmology. ... The index is magnificent and there is a good, relevant, mathematical appendix plus a glossary of terms which is actually useful. Best of all, there are worthwhile problems at the end of each chapter, complete with full solutions at the end of the book. ... this is a well written, well produced, text for a new field at a reasonable price."

Synopsis
Describes the branch of astronomy in which processes in the universe are investigated with experimental methods employed in particle-physics experiments. After a historical introduction the basics of elementary particles, Explains particle interactions and the relevant detection techniques, while modern aspects of astroparticle physics are described in a chapter on cosmology. Provides an orientation in the field of astroparticle physics that many beginners might seek and appreciate because the underlying physics fundamentals are presented with little mathematics, and the results are illustrated by many diagrams. Readers have a chance to enter this field of astronomy with a book that closes the gap between expert and popular level., This accessible introduction describes the branch of astronomy in which processes in the universe are investigated with experimental methods employed in particle-physics experiments. After a historical introduction the basics of elementary particles, Astroparticle Physics describes their interactions and the relevant detection techniques. The emphasis is cosmic rays, while modern aspects of astroparticle physics also treated in a cosmological content. It provides an orientation in the field of astroparticle physics that many beginners might seek and appreciate because the underlying physics fundamentals are presented with little mathematics, and the results are illustrated by many diagrams. The reader has a chance to enter this field of astronomy with a book that closes the gap between expert and popular level., "Thepreface isthe most important part of a book. Even reviewers read a preface." PhilipGuedalla PrefacetotheEnglishTranslation This book on astroparticle physics is the translation of the book on 'Astroteilchenphysik' published in German by Vieweg, Wiesbaden, in the year 2000. It is not only a translation, however, but also an update. The young ?eld of astroparticle physics is developing so rapidly, in particular with respect to 'new astronomies' such as neutrino astronomy and the detailed measurements of cosmic backgroundradiation, that these new experimentalresults and also new theoretical insights need to be included. The details of the creation of the universe are not fully understood yet and it is still not completely clear how the world will end, but recent results from supernovae obser- tions and precise measurement of the primordial blackbody radiation seem to indicate with increasing reliability that we are living in a ?at Euclidean universe which expands in an accelerated fashion. In the last couple of years cosmology has matured from a speculative science to a ?eld of textbook knowledge with precision measurements at the percent level. The updating process has been advanced mainly by my colleague Dr. Glen Cowan who is lecturing on astroparticle physics at Royal Holloway College, London, and by myself.
