Description: This book deals with fundamental physics with trapped particles, one of the most challenging and promising fields of investigation during the last decade, with impressive results. Experiments spanning very high resolution spectroscopy to Bose-Einstein condensation, tests of the Standard Model of electroweak interactions to precise mass measurements, detailed analysis of beta decay to QED tests are presented in this book by leading scientists: the most recent results are reported.
