This two-volume set contains the invited and contributed papers from the 1994 'Rochester' Conference on High Energy Physics, held 20-27 July 1994 in Glasgow, Scotland. This most prestigious of the international conferences on elementary particle physics brought together over 1000 researchers in the field from leading universities and research centres in 47 countries throughout the world. The volumes contain over 250 contributed papers from the parallel sessions of the conference giving details of latest research results in all areas of the subject. These and other recent results were collected and reviewed by the speakers in the 24 plenary sessions, whose talks were subsequently written up in a definitive way and assembled here. These reviews give a comprehensive and state-of-the-art coverage of the entire field in 1994. Important topics include the latest experimental results from electron-proton collisions at HERA and electron-positron collisions at CERN. Of special interest is the first concrete experimental evidence for the 'top' quark, found in proton-proton collisions at Fermilab. This quark completes the set of six that are predicted by the Standard Model, and its confirmation will mark a decisive moment in the history of physics. This book is an essential reference for libraries and researchers in high energy physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics and mathematical physics.

New edition explores contemporary MRI principles and practices Thoroughly revised, updated and expanded, the second edition of Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Physical Principles and Sequence Design remains the preeminent text in its field. Using consistent nomenclature and mathematical notations throughout all the chapters, this new edition carefully explains the physical principles of magnetic resonance imaging design and implementation. In addition, detailed figures and MR images enable readers to better grasp core concepts, methods, and applications. Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Second Edition begins with an introduction to fundamental principles, with coverage of magnetization, relaxation, quantum mechanics, signal detection and acquisition, Fourier imaging, image reconstruction, contrast, signal, and noise. The second part of the text explores MRI methods and applications, including fast imaging, water-fat separation, steady state gradient echo imaging, echo planar imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging, and induced magnetism. Lastly, the text discusses important hardware issues and parallel imaging. Readers familiar with the first edition will find much new material, including: New chapter dedicated to parallel imaging New sections examining off-resonance excitation principles, contrast optimization in fast steady-state incoherent imaging, and efficient lower-dimension analogues for discrete Fourier transforms in echo planar imaging applications Enhanced sections pertaining to Fourier transforms, filter effects on image resolution, and Bloch equation solutions when both rf pulse and slice select gradient fields are present Valuable improvements throughout with respect to equations, formulas, and text New and updated problems to test further the readers' grasp of core concepts Three appendices at the end of the text offer review material for basic electromagnetism and statistics as well as a list of acquisition parameters for the images in the book. Acclaimed by both students and instructors, the second edition of Magnetic Resonance Imaging offers the most comprehensive and approachable introduction to the physics and the applications of magnetic resonance imaging.
