At the LHC all processes are QCD ones, whether "signal" or "background". In this review the frontiers of current QCD research are addressed, towards increased understanding, improved calculational precision, and role in potential future…
This is a talk presented at the XXXVIIth Rencontres de Moriond, Electroweak and Unified Theories session, March 2002. A short review of the solar neutrino Borexino experiment is given.
A remarkable progress has been made in the understanding of the hot and dense QCD matter using lattice gauge theory. The issues which are very well understood as well those which require both conceptual as well as algorithmic advances are…
This talk reviews some of the theoretical progress and outstanding issues in QCD, flavour physics, Higgs and electroweak physics and the search for physics beyond the Standard Model at the Tevatron and the LHC, and previews some physics…
This report is the result of the collaboration and research effort of the Quarkonium Working Group over the last three years. It provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in heavy-quarkonium theory and experiment, covering…
Some of the new developments in the theory of heavy ion collisions are reviewed. Much of the last progress have been triggered by the high energies available at RHIC. In the near future, the LHC will extend the energy reach in heavy ions by…
Here I will review the theoretical results that have been obtained for spin glasses. I will concentrate my attention on the predictions of the mean field approach in three dimensional systems and on its numerical and experimental…
We highlight the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in theory and in experiment. We discuss how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a broad sweep of physical problems, in settings ranging from…
The aim of this introductory lecture is to review the arguments, according to which the symmetry properties of the strong interaction reveal themselves at low energies. I first discuss the symmetries of QCD, then sketch the method used to…
An introduction to models of open universes originating from bubbles, including a summary of recent theoretical results for the power spectrum. To appear in the proceedings of the XXXIth Moriond meeting, "Microwave Background Anisotropies."
We consider the question of how mathematicians view themselves and how non-mathematicians view us. What is our role in society? Is it effective? Is it rewarding? How could it be improved? This paper will be part of a forthcoming volume on…
This talk covers a selection of topics that were discussed at this meeting in the non-heavy-ion sessions: (a) The high $Q^{2}$ events at HERA and their theoretical interpretation. (b) The issues of how well we know the predictions of QCD,…
A summary of the QM19 conference is given by highlighting a few selected results. These are discussed as examples to illustrate the exciting future of heavy-ion collisions and the need for further instrumentation. (The arXiv version is…
A brief review of progress and issues in hadronic theory and phenomenology is presented. New results for the $X(3872)$, $Z_c(3900)$, and $Z_c(4020)$ are discussed and unresolved issues are highlighted. A series of open problems in pQCD,…
I review some of the main results on hard diffraction, in their relation to QCD, and indicate some of the strengths and weaknesses of the arguments. I also make some suggestions for future work.
Some explanations and implications of the underlying theory approach for quantum theories (QM or QFT) are discussed and suggested. This simple idea seems to have significantly nontrivial effects for our understanding of the quantum…
A physical introduction to the basics of chiral dynamics is presented. Emphasis is placed on experimental tests which have generally demonstrated a strong confirmation of the predictions of chiral perturbation theory, a low energy effective…
The past few years have seen remarkable progress in the theory and phenomenology of QCD, bringing perturbative and nonperturbative methods into closer contact with each other and with experiment.
In these lectures I will review some theoretical results that have been obtained for spin glasses. I will concentrate my attention on the formulation of the mean field approach and on its numerical and experimental verifications. I will…
In this talk, I review progress in experimental QCD in the last year, concentrating on the results and phenomenology of the first year of running of the LHC.
