That's right, I'm changing it back to it's original name. : p

I have all the links copied into an MS Word document. I'll try to organize them this weekend, then I'll post them all here.

The sites I end up using all the time:[Removed Broken Link]
Online preprint server... virtually all the high-energy and relativity papers written nowadays, and many others, show up here. Anyone can download the fulltexts for free. Best thing since sliced bread!

[Removed Broken Link]
The Net Advance of Physics. A huge directory to online books, notes, tutorials, and reviews, on a huge range of physics topics. Invaluable.

http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/
John Baez's website. He is a quantum geometry researcher at UC-Riverside, and has a ton of interesting info and good links. Especially recommended:

Physics FAQ
[Removed Broken Link]
Good relativity links

Gravitational Waves

This is a Gravitational Waves Class taught at the California Institute of Technology, January through May of 2002. This course was designed for physics graduate students or advanced undergraduates, and for scientists and engineers who have been working in other fields and are contemplating switching to gravitational-wave research -- experimental, theoretical, or both. The web-based materials include Quicktime videos of the lectures, lists of suggested and supplementary reading, copies
of some of the readings, many exercises, and solutions to all
exercises.

The main site can be found here: http://elmer.tapir.caltech.edu/ph237/

When you click on Week 1 you will need to download the video of the lecture and also open the PDF file of the slides for the lecture at the bottom of the page. Kip will refer to the slides and it is important to have the PDF open as Kip is speaking.

I personally have not had the time to get to far into the lectures but I'm sure some of you will find this interesting and enjoyable. Especially if you are interested in gravitational waves, who better to lecture you than Kip Thorne and a host of other professionals.

I'm not familiar with the text, so I am not sure if this is in full, or for that matter, even what you were talking about. Hope it is.

I see the forum has changed structure. I don't know where the links are for online texts etc. but I know of one the belongs on the list. It's Kip Thorne's and Roger Blanford's new text. See

I am collecting information in preparation for construction on a small particle accelerator. In my resent searching I found this book "Principles of Charged Particle Acceleration" http://www.fieldp.com/cpa/cpa.html. It should be helpful for me and hopefully someone else out there.

If this is somewhere in this thread, I am sorry :O But what/where is the database that collects all publications from physics-related peer-reviewed journals?

In biological sciences we've got the national center for biotechnology information at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/ where every single published articles gets archived.

What would be the physics equivalent? Not speaking about Xarchiv, since that is not peer-reviewed, is it?
 
  • #35
I'm not sure if there is a archive, but a couple databases are:
web of science -- http://isiknowledge.com
inspec -- can't get a url, the university sends us through a proxy so I can't see the url.

Both these might be a paid service.

APS has everything indexed for everyone to see, you just need a subscription to view the articles.
