The field of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions is today a flourishing activity both on the experimental and on the theoretical side. Although the theoretical justifications to study these collisions was given already more than three…
We demonstrate that a relativistic constituent quark model can give nucleon form factors that agree well with recent, accurate measurements. The relativistic features of the model and the specific form of the wave function are essential for…
This volume contains the proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Quantum Physics and Logic (QPL 2023). The aim of the QPL conference series is to bring together academic and industry researchers working on mathematical…
We give a brief introduction to the topics discussed at the ISMD 2010 Symposium (Antwerp, 2010) on forward physics at the LHC and its interplay with cosmic rays physics.
We give an overview of the latest results of HBT and fluctuations studies in heavy ion collisions presented during the Quark Matter 2001 Conference.
I review recent progress made on heavy quark physics on the lattice.
This proceedings summarises the dark matter presentations at ICRC 2023. It aims to not only act as a reference document reporting the various results and projections, but also compares the different search methods and attempts to assess the…
As a community, our goal is to understand the fundamental nature of energy, matter, space, and time, and to apply that knowledge to understand the birth, evolution and fate of the universe. Our scope is broad and we use many tools:…
The plenary presentations of the conference are summarised, highlighting some aspects that were of particular interest and attempting to link a few of the topics covered. Particular emphasis is placed on the problem of deep-inelastic…
An introduction to the physics of heavy fermion compounds is presented, attempting to highlight the conceptual developments and emphasize the mysteries and open questions that persist in this active field of research.
We comment on the present status, the concepts and their limitations, and the successes and open problems of the various approaches to a relativistic quantum theory of elementary particles, with a hindsight to questions concerning quantum…
These lectures describe the most important theoretical methods in b-physics. We discuss the formalism of effective weak Hamiltonians, heavy quark effective theory, the heavy quark expansion for inclusive decays of b-hadrons and, finally,…
Conceptual consequences of recent results in loop quantum gravity are collected and discussed here in view of their implications for a modern philosophy of science which is mainly understood as one that totalizes scientific insight so as to…
Talk presented at NAS Special Colloquium on Physical Cosmology
Heavy-ion collisions provide the only laboratory tests of relativistic quantum field theory at finite temperature. Understanding these is a necessary step in understanding the origins of our universe. These lectures introduce the subject to…
In the framework of the non relativistic quark model, an exhaustive study of radiative transitions in mesons is performed. The emphasis is put on several points. Some traditional approximations (long wave length limit, non relativistic…
Some recent progress and a personal selection of open problems in heavy quarkonium physics (spectroscopy, decay and production) inspired by the activity of the Quarkonium Working Group are reviewed.
This summary discusses some of the topics which were of overarching interest at the Symposium. These included, corrections to perturbative QCD predictions; heavy quark physics; electroweak symmetry breaking; and physics of the top quark.
The current status of the application of hydrodynamics to ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions is reviewed. We elaborate on the arguments for strong transverse flow and rapid thermalization and discuss future applications and trends in…
We describe quark matter in the framework of non-extensive thermodynamics. We point out that partcile spectra with power-law tail lead to an increased energy and entropy per particle. This way even a massless plasma may give E/N = 1 GeV at…
