The fortieth anniversary of the original construction of Supergravity provides an opportunity to combine some reminiscences of its early days with an assessment of its impact on the quest for a quantum theory of gravity.
This brief note, written for non-specialists, aims at drawing an introductive overview of the multiverse issue.
We have recently compiled a database with all doctoral dissertations (PhDs) completed in modern Greece (1837-2014), in the general area of astronomy and astrophysics, as well as in space and ionospheric physics. A preliminary statistical…
An extraordinary event took place recently in Ireland. A group of independent and professional researchers met to discuss an old heterodox topic with important consequences in astrophysics and, especially, in cosmology: possible causes of…
It is now widely believed that research should be an essential and integral part of under-graduate studies. In recent years there has been a conscious effort to bring research opportunities to the physics under-graduates in India. We argue…
We begin herewith the editing of physics notes taken in the course of Journal Club seminars at INFN-LNF in 1996. The activity consists of informal talks about work in progress and/or review of (more or less) recent physics results of…
This paper is based on a talk delivered on 16 November, 2015 in Osaka at the Nambu's Century: International Symposium on Yoichiro Nambu's Physics
Two items are reproduced herein: my `Outlook' talk, an amended version of which was presented at the 1991 joint Lepton--Photon and EPS Conference in Geneva, and an Open Letter addressed to HEPAP. One is addressed primarily to the European…
The theory of mean field electrodynamics, now celebrating its fiftieth birthday, has had a profound influence on our modelling of cosmical dynamos, greatly enhancing our understanding of how such dynamos may operate. Here I discuss some of…
Beginning in autumn 2008 the first generation of astronomy master students will start a 2 year course in Astrophysics offered by the Physics department of the University of Split, Croatia (http://fizika.pmfst.hr/astro/english/index.html).…
A review of the recent achievements in high energy neutrino physics and, partly, neutrino astrophysics is presented. It is argued that experiments with high energy neutrinos of natural origin can be used for a search of new physics effects…
Late Winter Lecture Notes, Short Course (10 hours) of Relativistic Astrophysics held at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Padova, March 13-17, 2017. Third version.
Starting with Einstein's famous papers of 1905, we review some of the ensuing developments and their impact on present-day physics. We attempt to cover topics that are of interest to historians and philosophers of science as well as to…
The European School of High-Energy Physics is intended to give young physicists an introduction to the theoretical aspects of recent advances in elementary particle physics. These proceedings contain lecture notes on the Standard Model of…
A short review on a neutrino magnetic moment is presented.
History of Neutrino Physics is revied with special emphasis on anecdotal events often neglected.
The first papers on neutrino oscillations are shortly reviewed.
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…
With an investigation into how students in a physics Master of science program make sense of their whole first year study experience in one of the years following a programme reform, we try to offer insights and advice to consider when…
This paper studies the dynamics of Brazilian interest rates for short-term maturities. The paper employs developed techniques in the econophysics literature and tests for long-range dependence in the term structure of these interest rates…
