In this lecture, I summarize developments presented at the Lepton Photon 2011 conference and give my perspective on the current situation in high-energy physics.
Studies of strong field ionization have historically relied on the strong field approximation, which neglects all spatial dependence in the forces experienced by the electron after ionization. More recently, the small spatial inhomogeneity…
I endeavour to provide a thorough overview of our current knowledge of high-redshift galaxies and their evolution during the first billion years of cosmic time, corresponding to redshifts z > 5. After first summarizing progress with the…
Normal galaxies begin to arise from the shadows at high energies, as can be seen with the discovery of high-energy gamma-ray emission from the Andromeda galaxy (M 31) by the Fermi /LAT collaboration. We present a study on the search for…
A recent high school graduate addresses the salient question: Should individualism or collectivism be encouraged in physics students? (Physics Today, Points of View, October 2013)
A summary is presented of the workshop "top physics at linear colliders" that was held at IFIC Valencia from the 30th of June to the 3rd July 2015. We present an up-to-date status report of studies into the potential for top quark physics…
In this paper, which is of programmatic rather than quantitative nature, we aim to further delineate and sharpen the future potential of the LISA mission in the area of fundamental physics. Given the very broad range of topics that might be…
The aim of the Working Group on Single Beam Behaviour was to concentrate on the items limiting the achievement of high luminosity. Some are related to high current and short bunch distance, as electron cloud instability (ECI), the others to…
Since 2016 the group known as `The Big Bang Collective' has brought High Energy Physics outreach to music and culture festivals across Europe, successfully engaging with and inspiring audiences who may never have sought this out themselves…
This is a proceeding of the CERN Latin American School of High-Energy physics that took place in the beautiful city of Natal, northern Brazil, in March 2011. In this paper I present a review of the main topics associated with the study of…
Recolliding electrons are responsible for many of the interesting phenomena observed in the interaction of strong laser fields with atoms and molecules. We show that in multielectron targets such as C60 a new important recollision pathway…
We present the first results of BeppoSAX observations of a small sample of low brightness FRI radio galaxies. The flux of all the targets is consistent with a thermal spectrum, as due to the presence of hot intracluster gas or galactic…
After the observation of a Higgs boson near 125 GeV, the high energy physics community is investigating possible next steps for entering into a new era in particle physics. It is planned that the Large Hadron Collider will deliver an…
During the period 1962--1964, I had a tenure track Assistant Professorship in Mathematics at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where I did research in probability theory, especially on linear diffusion processes. Being somewhat lonely…
I review the current status of studies of the large-scale structure of the Universe using redshift surveys of galaxies and clusters of galaxies. I first summarise the advances we have made in our knowledge of the cosmography of the z<0.2…
Magnetically confined plasmas are often subject to relaxation oscillations accompanied by large transport events. This is particularly the case for the high confinement regime of tokamaks where these events are termed edge localized modes…
We present an informal discussion of some aspects of strong interactions under extreme conditions of temperature and density at an elementary level. This summarizes lectures delivered at the 2013 CERN -- Latin-American School of High-Energy…
I review in this presentation some aspects of phenomenology in High Energy Physics which are related to recent and possibly future progress in lattice QCD. In particular, I cover (i) the extraction of CKM matrix elements from B physics,…
Selection of recent (in March 2022) results from the heavy-ion experiment ALICE at the CERN LHC, chosen to address various stages of the nucleus-nucleus reaction.
In the last five years, the operation of the LEP accelerator has provided the HEP community with a unique opportunity to search for physics beyond the standard model at the typical energy scale of $~200$ GeV. Although most of the data…
