I review recent progress in our understanding of the color superconducting phase of matter above nuclear density, giving particular emphasis to the effort to find observable signatures of the presence of this phase in compact stars.
A brief overview is given of recent progress in understanding the dynamics of hot gauge theories.
We try to understand how particles acquire mass in general, and in particular, how they acquire mass in the standard model and beyond.
From the days when superconductivity was discovered its science was entangled by the unresolved problem of the relationship between superconductive state, its crystal structure and its phase transitions. The problem was exacerbated by the…
The state of cold quark matter really challenges both astrophysicists and particle physicists, even many-body physicists. It is conventionally suggested that BCS-like color superconductivity occurs in cold quark matter; however, other…
In these lectures I describe some of the open questions in the standard model relating to the nature and origin of mass, forces and matter and discuss some of the speculative theoretical ideas put forth in this regard. Some of the topics…
We discuss superfluidity in neutron matter, with particular attention to induced interactions and to universal properties accessible with cold atoms.
The experimental and astrophysical status of neutrino masses is reviewed with an emphasis on the cosmologically interesting regime.
The development of supergravity unified models and their implications for current and future experiments are discussed.
This chapter introduces the fracture nucleation process, their (extreme) statistics in disordered solids, in fiber bundle models, and in the two fractal overlap models of earthquake.
This paper gives a simple introduction to the SO(5) theory of high T_c superconductivity. Current status and relation to experiments are summarized.
Fundamental spin physics has made striking progresses in the last years; new ideas, experiments and data interpretations have been proposed and keep emerging. A review of some of the most important issues in the spin structure of nucleons…
The first part of this article summarizes the evidence for Dark Energy and Dark Matter, as well as the naturalness issues which plague current theories of Dark Energy. The main point of this part is to argue why these naturalness issues…
We review recent theoretical results for soft-core Bose systems, and describe the low-temperature supersolid "droplet crystal" phase, predicted for a broad class of soft-core interactions. We identify the conditions on the inter-particle…
Current evidence for neutrino oscillation is reviewed, some areas for closer investigation are suggested, and a plausible future experimental program is summarized.
We describe the present status of the Unitarity Triangle and we give an outlook for its future determinations. We discuss new sets of fundamental flavour parameters and comment briefly on new physics beyond the Standard Model.
We investigate the formation and the decay of heavy systems which are above the fission barrier. By using a microscopic simulation of constraint molecular dynamics (CoMD) on Au+Au collision, we observe composite states stay for very long…
The status of precision tests of the Standard Model is reviewed.
Basic theoretical and experimental aspects of neutrino magnetic moments are reviewed, including the present best upper bounds from reactor experiments and astrophysics. An interesting effect of neutrino spin precession and oscillations…
Experiments on solid-state materials and atomic quantum gases are increasingly investigating similar concepts in many-body quantum physics. Yet, the flavor of experiments on the gaseous atomic materials is different from that of…
