We describe the very nature of the elementary particles, which our (visible) Universe consists of. We point out that they are not point-like, and we depict their ways of interacting. We also address puzzles that occur even in the absence of…
These lecture notes provide an elementary introduction, within the framework of finite quantum systems, to recent developments in the theory of entropic fluctuations.
After a brief review of the historical development and CLASSICAL properties of the BLACK HOLES, we discuss how our present knowledge of some of their QUANTUM properties shed light on the very concept of ELEMENTARY PARTICLE. As an…
Course material for mathematical methods of theoretical physics intended for an undergraduate audience.
In these lectures I introduce the basics of HERA physics and give a survey of the major aspects, discussing in somewhat more depth the subject of low $x$ physics.
We give an elementary introduction to the theory of supermembranes.
In these lecture notes, I will briefly review the fundamental physical principles of locomotion in fluids, with a particular emphasis on the low-Reynolds number world.
In these notes we present a selection of topics, each section approximately amounting to one lecture. We begin with a brief recapitulation of General Relativity, and the Standard Model of Cosmology. This is followed by lectures on important…
This lecture is a brief introduction to charged particle accelerators. The aim is to provide the reader with basic concepts and tools needed to describe the motion of charged particles under the action of guiding and focussing fields, with…
The development of a workshop using the language, techniques, and processes of visual art to introduce particle physics concepts is described. Innovative delivery methods committed to the interaction and collaboration of different…
These notes give an elementary approach to parts of the theory of standard Borel and analytic spaces.
To develop an increase in societal interest in the fundamental sciences of particle physics and particularly for maintaining the support structures needed to succeed in experiments that take several decades to develop and complete, requires…
This dissertation aims to deepen the understanding of the primordial composition of the Universe in the temperature range 300 MeV>T>0.02 MeV. I exploit known properties of elementary particles and apply methods of kinetic theory and…
These lecture notes, suitable for a two-semester introductory course or self-study, offer an elementary and self-contained exposition of the basic tools and concepts that are encountered in practical computations in perturbative thermal…
This article is a summary of four introductory lectures on ``Neutrino Experiments,'' given at the 2006 TASI summer school. The purposes were to sketch out the present questions in neutrino physics and to discuss the experimental challenges…
A prediction and observational evidence for the mass of a dark matter particle are presented..
These notes grew out of two lectures I have given on CAT(0) cube complexes. I've tried to keep the material elementary and self-contained in order to keep the material easily accessible and to provide an elementary introduction on the topic…
This set of lectures covers the very basics of flavor physics and are aimed to be an entry point to the subject. A lot of problems are provided in the hope of making the manuscript a self study guide.
I discuss some compelling suggestions about particles which could be the dark matter in the universe, with special attention to experimental searches for them.
Relations between elementary particles masses are given using only known physical constants, without any arbitrary number.
