Being aware of the motivation problems observed in many scientific oriented careers, we present two experiences to expose to college students to environments, methodologies and discovery techniques addressing contemporary problems. This…
Massive Open Online Courses are an exciting new avenue for instruction and research, yet they are full of unknowns. In the Spring of 2013, MITx released its first introductory physics MOOC through the edX platform, generating a total…
Towards the end of 2010, some 25 years after the very first collisions of ultra-relativistic heavy ions at fixed target energies, and some 10 years after the start of operation of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), the LHC opened a…
AFTER@LHC is an ambitious fixed-target project in order to address open questions in the domain of proton and neutron spins, Quark Gluon Plasma and high-$x$ physics, at the highest energy ever reached in the fixed-target mode. Indeed,…
We examine the energetics of the best examples of flux-rope CMEs observed by LASCO in 1996-2001. We find that 69% of the CMEs in our sample experience a driving power in the LASCO field of view. For these CMEs which are driven, we examine…
Over the last Century the method of particle acceleration to high energies has become the prime approach to explore the fundamental nature of matter in laboratory. It appears that the latest search of the contemporary accelerator based on…
Discovered more than 40 years ago, impulsive solar energetic particle (SEP) events are still poorly understood. The enormous abundance enhancement of the rare 3He isotope is the most striking feature of these events, though large…
We introduce HepLean, an open-source project to digitalise definitions, theorems, proofs, and calculations in high energy physics using the interactive theorem prover Lean 4. HepLean has the potential to benefit the high energy physics…
These notes form an introduction to Lie algebras and group theory. Most of the material can be found in many works by various authors given in the list of references. The reader is referred to such works for more detail.
In the last decade our knowledge on galactic black hole systems and in particular on their high energy behavior has considerably improved. I will briefly review here the main results obtained by the high-energy missions SIGMA/GRANAT,…
LA-CoNGA physics (for Latin-American alliance for Capacity buildiNG in Advance physics) is an ERASMUS+ project aiming to support the modernization of university infrastructure and its pedagogical offer in advanced physics in four…
The transition from secondary to higher education represents a critical point in academic trajectories, particularly in programmes with a strong emphasis on basic sciences. Across different higher education systems, introductory Mathematics…
Accelerator technology has advanced tremendously since the introduction of accelerators in the 1930s, and particle accelerators have become indispensable instruments in high energy physics (HEP) research to probe Nature at smaller and…

This note presents a brief account of the School of Mathematical Physics of the National Group of Mathematical Physics of the Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica (INdAM), written on the occasion of its 50th anniversary.
This paper gives a summary of a talk by the author at the mini-conference entitled Progress in Making IFE-based Concepts a Reality at the APS-DPP meeting in Atlanta in October, 2024. It argues principally for a new DoE lab to examine the…
In 1980, Leedham-Green and Newman introduced the invariant coclass to the theory of groups of prime-power order and they proposed five far-reaching conjectures related to it. Their work has initiated a deep and fruitful research project in…
Results on low-mass dileptons, covering the very broad energy range from the BEVALAC up to SPS are reviewed. The emphasis is on the open questions raised by the intriguing results obtained so far and the prospects for addressing them in the…
Recently, the emergence of a higher energy structure (HES) due to a spatial inhomogeneity in the laser electric field, as is typically found close to a nano tip, was reported in Phys.~Rev. Letter {\bf 119}, 053204 (2017). For practical…
Long-range interactions often proceed as a sequence of hopping through intermediate, statistically-favored events. Here, we identify a widely-overlooked mechanism for the mechanical motion of particles that arises from the Lorentz force and…
