I review experimental results from ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. Signals of new physics and observables reflecting the underlying collision dynamics are presented, and the evidence for new physics discussed. Measurements of higher…
These are the notes from my courses on the arithmetic of quadratic forms.
A review article on the physics of beam-beam interactions in circular colliders.
We discuss the physics case of a high luminosity B-Factory running at the Y(5S) resonance. We show that the coherence of the B meson pairs is preserved at this resonance, and that Bs can be well distinguished from Bd and charged B mesons.…
The following are notes on the geometry of the bidisk. In particular, we examine the properties of equidistant surfaces in the bidisk.
We present recent BABAR results on searches for dark photons, long-lived scalar particles and new pi0-like particles.
Instruction in quantum mechanics is becoming increasingly important as the field is not only a key part of modern physics research, but is also important for emerging technologies. However, many students regard quantum mechanics as a…
Physics from the polarized electron or positron beam colliding with the unpolarized proton beam at HERA-II as well as from the unpolarized ep collisions at HERA-I is discussed. Results shown include (i) inclusive neutral and charged current…
An overview of the prospects of top quark physics at the LHC is presented. The ATLAS and the CMS detectors are about to produce a large amount of data with high top quark contents from the LHC proton-proton collisions. A wide variet y of…
Bohr's Complementarity Principle is a core concept of quantum mechanics. In this article, an updated complementarity relation for the wave and ondulatory aspects of a quantum system is presented and discussed. Two interferometric…
I summarize work done with Bamert, Burgess, Nardi and London in which we examine the effects of new physics on R_b. Our work facilitates the identification of such new physics in case the present two-sigma deviation of R_b from its Standard…
It is shown that the Evans-Vigier modified electrodynamics is compatible with the Relativity Theory.
Polarization observables in top quark decays are sensitive probes of possible new physics contributions to the interactions of the heavy third generation quarks. Within an effective theory approach such new physics contributions can be…
Learning advanced physics, in general, is challenging not only due to the increased mathematical sophistication but also because one must continue to build on all of the prior knowledge acquired at the introductory and intermediate levels.…
We have developed a set of laboratories and hands on activities to accompany a new two-semester interdisciplinary physics course that has been successfully developed and tested in two small test classes of students at the University of…
Quantum Information Science and Engineering (QISE) is rapidly gaining interest from those within many disciplines and higher education needs to adapt to the changing landscape. Although QISE education still has a strong presence and roots…
We find equations of particle motion from the point of view of observer on a rotating disk, and demonstrate that a particle moving along a rotating disk is influenced by forces arising from geometry. They can be considered as analogs of the…
This paper describes the development of a new university physics course designed to integrate physics, education, research, and community partnerships. The coordinated system of activities links the new course to local community efforts in…
We gather material from many sources about the quantum potential and its geometric nature. The presentation is primarily expository but some new observations relating Q, V, and psi are indicated.
