[内容简介]
　本書是關于暗能量的英文專著，詳細地介紹了暗能量領域的理論基礎、研究方法和發展水平，內容包含理論推演和實驗觀測數據分析。本書從引力理論和宇宙學背景知識講起，引入并探討了暗能量的各種模型及相關理論，如超對稱、全息原理、人擇原理、量子宇宙學、修正的引力理論、反饋和各種唯象模型等等。在系統講解理論推演的同時，本書對于實驗觀測的結果也作了全面介紹，并且較為詳細地講解了數據分析的方法。通過實驗提供的數據，本書對各種暗能量模型與實驗的比對作了介紹。進一步地，還對各個模型的優劣做了比較。本書適合宇宙學、粒子物理、引力理論等領域的科研工作者和研究生作為參考，也可作為試圖了解并進入這一研究方向的研究生的指導性讀物，還可以幫助感興趣的非專業讀者了解這個迅速發展、迷人的領域.
