This summary is organized in four parts. In the first part results in the electroweak theory are discussed, including precision tests of the Standard Model. The second part deals with recent results in QCD, focusing on areas where…
We survey the theory and experimental tests for the propagation of cosmic rays in the Galaxy up to energies of 10^15 eV. A guide to the previous reviews and essential literature is given, followed by an exposition of basic principles. The…
Flaws and ambiguities are pointed out upon examining the comment attempting to solve a problem as raised recently --- the currently accepted formulation of electromagnetic radiation of an accelerated charge violates the principle of…
After a brief discussion of effective field theory applied to nuclear clusters, I concentrate on the inclusion of two particular aspects, namely, narrow resonances and electromagnetic interactions. As examples of applications, I present the…
After two decades of a development of the unitary and analytic models of the electromagnetic structure of hadrons and nuclei their main principles are briefly formulated, then a general scheme of their applications to the electromagnetic,…
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are versatile tools with broad applications from physics and chemistry to geology and medical studies. In this mini-review, we consider the concepts of NMR and MRI…
This report is the second of two addenda to the CLOUD proposal at CERN (physics/0104048), which aims to test experimentally the existence a link between cosmic rays and cloud formation, and to understand the microphysical mechanism. The…
We analyze the collision of a high energy electron beam with an oscillating electric and magnetic field configuration, which represents a three-dimensional standing electromagnetic wave. The radiating electrons are stopped at the distance…
The radiating part of a circular acoustic source is determined on the basis of an exact analysis of the radiation properties of a source with angular dependence $\exp \J n\theta$ and arbitrary radial dependence. It is found that the number…
It is known that an accelerating charge radiates according to Larmor formula. On the other hand, any DC current following a curvilinear path, e.g. a circular loop, consists of accelerating charges, but in such case the radiated power is 0.…
In this review the basic interaction mechanisms of charged and neutral particles are presented. The ionization energy loss of charged particles is fundamental to most particle detectors and is therefore described in more detail. The…
Current and future experiments at CERN are reviewed,with emphasis on those relevant to astrophysics and cosmology. These include experiments related to nuclear astrophysics, matter-antimatter asymmetry, dark matter, axions, gravitational…
Radio-detection is a mature technique that has gained large momentum over the past decades. Its physical detection principle is mainly driven by the electromagnetic part of the shower, and is therefore not too sensitive to uncertainties on…
We show that the radiative corrections to charged current (CC) nuclear reactions with an electron(positron) in the final state are described by a universal function. The consistency of our treatment of the radiative corrections with the…
Starting from the general Lindhard theory describing the partition of particles energy in materials between ionisation and displacements, analytical approximate solutions have been derived, for media containing one and more atomic species,…
This talk provides a basic introduction for students interested in the responses of detectors to solar, supernova, and other low-energy neutrino sources. Some of the nuclear physics is then applied in a discussion of nucleosynthesis within…
Multi-energy radiography is a new direction in non-destructive testing. Its specific feature is separate detection of penetrating radiation in several energy channels. Multi-energy radiography allows quantitative determination of the atomic…
This article discusses some basic aspects of cross section measurements at the future Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.
The term beta-beam has been coined for the production of a pure beam of electron neutrinos or their antiparticles through the decay of radioactive ions circulating in a storage ring. This concept requires radioactive ions to be accelerated…
In this paper, the connection between Pierre Auger Observatory measurements and photons is discussed. Three cases are presented: the search for photons in the ultrahigh-energy cosmic-ray radiation, the impact of the photon background in the…
