We review the life and remarkable contributions to Physics of Gregor Wentzel.
The talk presents the main lines of biography of the prominent physicist and bright personality. Also given is a necessarily brief description of Gribov's scientific work.
These are the proceedings of the symposium on ``Frontiers in Nuclear Physics'' held at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef from June 18 to 20, 2009. The workshop concentrated on recent advances in the understanding of the nuclear forces,…
In the first part, I give a brief description of the quark-gluon plasma search at CERN and of some experimental results. In the second part, I review a dynamical model of nucleus-nucleus interactions and propose a physical interpretation of…
We review the basic ideas and some theoretical models behind the concept of fullerene-like structures made of $\alpha$-particles. The possibility of such a peculiar nuclear shape developing in a double magic superheavy nucleus with $Z$=120…
Recent developments are (meta)reviewed in the applications of Wigner functions to describe the observed single particle spectra and two-particle Bose-Einstein (or Hanbury Brown -- Twiss) correlations in high energy particle and nuclear…
Recollections by the author about how his interactions with John Wheeler influenced his career in physics.
In these lectures I present the key ideas driving the field of relativistic heavy-ion physics and develop some of the theoretical tools needed for the description and interpretation of heavy-ion collision experiments.

This work relates to the famous experiments, performed in 1975 and 1979 by Werner et al., measuring neutron interference and neutron Sagnac effects in the earth's gravitational field. Employing the method of Stodolsky in its weak field…
Hard processes in nucleus-nucleus interactions at relativistic energies are reviewed with emphasis on recent PHENIX results from the first run of the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider at BNL. The observed suppression of moderately high $p_T$…
[Abridged] This review article presents the progress made over the last decade, since the introduction of effective field theories (EFTs) into post-Newtonian (PN) gravity. These have been put forward in the context of gravitational waves…
This contribution is a written version of my closing talk presented at the Quark Matter 2017 conference. Neither the talk nor this contribution to the conference proceedings is intended as a comprehensive summary. Rather, a brief discussion…
This Special Issue on "Top Quark at the New Physics Frontier" is devoted to the most massive fundamental elementary particle known, the top quark. The aim is to provide a comprehensive review of the current status and prospects of top quark…
History of Neutrino Physics is revied with special emphasis on anecdotal events often neglected.
