The purpose of the conference (the fourth in the series of Vaxjo conferences) was to bring together scientists (physicists, mathematicians and philosophers) who are interested in foundations of quantum physics. An emphasis was made on both…
This report is based on the talk given by the author in the concluding session of the workshop on Canonical Methods in Classical and Quantum General Relativity, held a Bad-Honef, Germany, in September 93. It contains an assessment of the…
Highlights of top quark physics presented at the 2009 Europhysics Conference on High Energy Physics from 16-22 July 2009 in Krakow, Poland, are reviewed.
This volume contains the proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Quantum Physics and Logic (QPL 2011), which was held October 27-29, 2011 at Radboud University Nijmegen. The goal of this workshop series is to bring together…
After the first meeting in Copenhagen in 2001 QSQCD II is the second workshop in this series dealing with cosmic matter at very high density and its astrophysical implications. The aim is to bring together reseachers in the physics of…
A personal summary of the discussions which took place at the informal meeting in Amirim, Israel from June 1-4 2000, concerning the dipole picture of small-$x$ physics is presented. The broad aim of the meeting was to address the question…
In these lectures I discuss cosmological phase transitions with the goal of establishing the possibility of observational consequences. I argue that the {\em only} phase transition amenable of experimental study within the foreseeable…
I use simple thermodynamic reasoning to argue that at temperatures of order a trillion kelvin, QCD, the theory which describes strongly interacting particles such as protons and neutrons under normal conditions, undergoes a phase transition…
Experiments with cold and ultracold neutrons have reached a level of precision such that problems far beyond the scale of the present Standard Model of particle physics become accessible to experimental investigation. Due to the close links…
This dialogue took place at V\"axj\"o, 19 November 2001. The main aim of our meeting in V\"axj\"o was to clarify our viewpoints on foundations of quantum mechanics. The most attractive in our discussion was the extreme difference in our…
Strongly interacting matter exhibits new phases under extreme conditions. Matter was exposed to such extremes not only in the Early Universe, but also today in the cores of neutron stars, as well as in laboratory experiments at a much…
Talk given at XIXth International Symposium on Lepton and Photon Interactions at High Energies (LP 99), Stanford, California, 9-14 August 1999.
This presentation reports on recent developments concerning basic aspects of low-energy QCD as they relate to the understanding of the nucleon mass and the nuclear many-body problem.
Summary of Quantum Magnetism Conference, Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara, California, August 16-20, 1999.
Quantum criticality is the intriguing possibility offered by the laws of quantum mechanics when the wave function of a many-particle physical system is forced to evolve continuously between two distinct, competing ground states. This…
The use of quantality is discussed in the case of nuclei and other many-body systems such as atomic electrons. This dimensionless quantity is known to indicate when a many-body system behaves like a crystal or a quantum liquid. Its role is…
Invited talk presented at the Workshop on Quantum Field Theoretical Aspects of High Energy Physics, Kyffh\"auser, Germany, September 20-24, 1993; to be published in the Proceedings.
These are notes based on a series of talks that the author gave at the "Interactions between hyperbolic geometry and quantum groups" conference held at Columbia University in June of 2009.
The heavens are full of neutrinos, but so far we have observed a small subset of those. Performing such observations and analyzing the data from them require a thorough understanding of neutrino interactions. In this short review, the…
The possibility off measuring for the first time neutrino-nuclei coherent scattering has been recently discussed by several experimental collaborations. It is shown that such a measurement may be very sensitive to non-standard interactions…
