The Tevatron heavy flavor physics program is in full swing. The rapid increase in the size of data samples is allowing significant improvements of previous results, and opens the doors to new possibilities. A further doubling of the current…
This Resource Letter treats the nascent discipline of physical eschatology, which deals with the future evolution of astrophysical objects, including the universe itself, and is thus both a counterpart and a complement to conventional…
We consider the physics motivations and perspectives for the study of spin phenomena at the future high energies accelerators. The possibilities to use the already operating machines are also discussed. It is emphasized that the present…
The exclusive decay mode B ->K*ll has become one of the key players in the search for New Physics in flavor. An increasing number of observables are being studied experimentally, and with increasing precision. Its theoretical description is…
Neutrinos, and primarily neutrino oscillations, have undoubtedly been one of the most exciting topics in the field of high-energy physics over the past few years. The existence of neutrino oscillations would require an extension of the…
A short review is given of the idea and of the present status of recently proposed evolution equations that respect the Gribov-Lipatov reciprocity between space-like and time-like parton dynamics in all orders.
We summarize progress made in theoretical astrophysics and cosmology over the past decade and areas of interest for the coming decade. This Report is prepared as the TF09 "Astrophysics and Cosmology" topical group summary for the Theory…
This is a progress report on a preliminary feasibility study of experimental setups for preparing and probing a gravitational cat state [1].
I give a theory motivation for future measurements in quark flavour physics, trying to identify observables, which are less familiar, but nevertheless interesting and promising.
In this paper we study research trends in condensed matter physics. Trends are analyzed by means of the the number of publications in the different sub-fields as function of the years. We found that many research topics have a similar…
I will summarize the numerous contributions which were presented in the session, Hadronic and Spin Physics, largely dominated by new experimental results.
Radio pulsars have been responsible for many astonishing astrophysical and fundamental physics breakthroughs since their discovery 50 years ago. In this review I will discuss many of the highlights, most of which were only possible because…
We present a short communication on the recent direct measurements of gravitational waves, made possible by the joint efforts of the LIGO and the Virgo projects. These notes are devoted to a broad audience. In the first part we will present…
With new forthcoming intense neutrino beams, for the study of neutrino oscillations, it is possible to consider other physics experiments that can be done with these extreme neutrino fluxes available close to the source.
The new millennium's qualitative advances in relativistic heavy ion physics are in part due to, and are in part causing, a new appreciation for quantitative rigor in both experimental and theoretical work in the field. In these proceedings…
We give an abridged account of a continued string of studies in condensed matter physics and in complex systems that span five decades. We provide links to access abstracts and full texts of a selected list of publications. The studies were…
This is the first of a series of papers that we intend to publish about the epistemology of fundamental physics in its current state. One of the main objectives of these papers is to improve our understanding of fundamental physics (and…
In this speculative, millenial essay, I try to anticipate what sort of novel gravitational optics investigations might be observed, after it becomes possible to map and monitor roughly a trillion sources (of which a billion may be usefully…
The study of undecidability in problems arising from physics has experienced a renewed interest, mainly in connection with quantum information problems. The goal of this review is to survey this recent development. After a historical…
Wonderful opportunities await particle physics over the next decade, with the coming of the Large Hadron Collider to explore the 1-TeV scale (extending efforts at LEP and the Tevatron to unravel the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking)…
