天体粒子物理——天文学与粒子物理学的交叉

ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICS——THE INTERFACE BETWEEN ASTRONOMY AND PARTICLE PHYSICS

天体粒子物理是一个正在迅速成长中的交叉领域 .文章介绍了这个学科的若干近期进展 .限于篇幅 ,选择讨论的内容涉及暗物质与残骸粒子、中微子天文学、γ射线天文学、宇宙线、宇宙微波背景与暴胀。

Astroparticle physics is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary area which has seen dramatic breakthroughs and spectacular discoveries in the past few years. Recent advances in this area are reviewed, but due to length limits only selected topics are covered, including dark matter and relic particles, neutrino astronomy, γ astronomy, cosmic rays, cosmic microwave background and inflation, and the early universe.
