Developments in the foundations of quantum mechanics have identified several attributes and tests associated with the "quantumness" of systems, including entanglement, nonlocality, quantum erasure, Bell test, etc. Here we introduce and…
In this talk I discuss some recent developments in physics beyond the Standard Model. After some initial comments on neutrino masses, I discuss the status of low-energy supersymmetry and finally turn to describing some recent work in…
The field of neutrino physics was covered at DPF 2013 in 32 talks, including three on theoretical advances and the remainder on experiments that spanned at least 17 different detectors. This summary of those talks cannot do justice to the…
A survey probing respondents' views on various foundational issues in quantum mechanics was recently created by Schlosshauer, Kofler, and Zeilinger [arXiv:1301.1069] and then given to 33 participants at a quantum foundations conference.…
Quantum criticality describes the collective fluctuations of matter undergoing a second-order phase transition at zero temperature. Heavy fermion metals have in recent years emerged as prototypical systems to study quantum critical points.…
The talks presented at the conference are summarized from an angle of a particle theorist. After presenting a personal impression on the conference, particular emphasis is placed on the spin structure of nucleons and symmetry breaking test.
Expanded and updated version of a talk originally presented at ``IVth Int. Symp. on Pion--Nucleon Physics and the Structure of the Nucleon'', Bad Honnef, 9--13 September 1991, originally published in $\pi N$ Newletter 6 (1992) 21--32. Table…
A group of Early-Career Researchers (ECRs) has been given a mandate from the European Committee for Future Accelerators (ECFA) to debate the topics of the current European Strategy Update (ESU) for Particle Physics and to summarise the…
Measurements of neutral current processes off the $Z$-peak are sensitive probes of new interactions, which may be induced by the exchange of new particles such as leptoquarks or extra $Z$'s. This talk reviews the phenomenology of extra…
Recent developments in neutron star theory and observation are discussed. Based on modern nucleon-nucleon potentials more reliable equations of state for dense nuclear matter have been constructed. Furthermore, phase transitions such as…
This document summarizes the conclusions of the Neutrino Town Meeting held at CERN in October 2018 to review the neutrino field at large with the aim of defining a strategy for accelerator-based neutrino physics in Europe. The importance of…
My assignment at this conference is to assess where we are in high-energy physics and speculate on where we might be going. This frees me from any obligation to summarize all that went on here and allows me to talk just about those topics…
This conference covers an extremely broad range of topics and in just a few pages it is impossible to even touch on all the areas which will be discussed. We have chosen to summarise just one area where there has recently been impressive…
A group of fifty physicists met in Duck, NC, Nov. 6-9 to discuss the current status and future goals of hadronic physics. The main purpose of the meeting was to define the field by identifying its key issues, challenges, and opportunities.…
The status of RHIC theory and phenomenology is reviewed with an emphasis on the indications for the creation of a new deconfined state of matter. The critical role of high energy nuclear physics in the development of theoretical tools that…
I present a summary of the experimental talks given at the Photon 2009 conference held at DESY, Hamburg, Germany.
This White Paper was prepared for the Nuclear Science Town Meeting on "Neutrinos, Neutrons and Fundamental Symmetries, held in Chicago on Jan. 17-19, 2007.
This article was co-authored by all invited speakers at the Joint Discussion on `Neutron Stars and Black Holes in Star Clusters,' which took place during the IAU General Assembly in Prague, Czech Republic, on August 17 and 18, 2006. Each…
This talk summarizes some of the theoretical issues currently most debated in the field of hot and dense QCD matter and ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions.
This symposium has revealed considerable new progress on nuclei of galaxies over the last three years. In this talk, I will try to point out the advances since the last meeting on exactly the same subject held three years ago at Ringberg…
