description: This book introduces particle physics astrophysics and cosmology. Starting from an experimental perspective it provides a unified view of these fields that reflects the very rapid advances being made. This new edition has a number of improvements and has been updated to describe the recent discovery of gravitational waves and astrophysical neutrinos which started the new era of multimessenger astrophysics; it also includes new results on the Higgs particle. Astroparticle and particle physics share a common we still dont have a description of the main ingredients of the Universe from the point of view of its energy budget. Addressing these fascinating issues and offering a balanced introduction to particle and astroparticle physics that requires only a basic understanding of quantum and classical physics this book is a valuable resource particularly for advanced undergraduate students and for those embarking on graduate courses. It includes exercises that offer readers practical insights. It can be used equally well as a self-study book a reference and a textbook.
