Astrophysics, Clocks and Fundamental Constants

Description

Title: Astrophysics, Clocks and Fundamental Constants
Description:
Pages: 346

The question of a possible temporal variation of the fundamental constants was raised by Paul

Dirac in his "large number hypothesis" in 1937. Today it appears in the context of the search

for a unified theory of the fundamental interactions. It touches both fundamental and applied

physics, as the postulate of the unalterability of the constants is the foundation for modern

metrology. The book presents reviews written by leading experts in the field. Focussing on the

question of variations of the fundamental "constants" in time or space, the chapters cover the

theoretical framework in which variations are expected and the search for variations of

quantities like the fine-structure constant, the electron/proton mass ratio, g-factors of

proton and neutron etc. in astrophysical and geophysical observations and in precision

experiments with atomic clocks and frequency standards.
