Recent decades have seen a rise in the use of physics methods to study different societal phenomena. This development has been due to physicists venturing outside of their traditional domains of interest, but also due to scientists from…
In this write-up of my SQM 2006 Theory Summary talk I focus on a selection of key contributions which I consider to have a large impact on the current status of the field of strangeness physics or which may have the potential to…
We review how RHIC is expected to deepen our understanding of the spin structure of longitudinally and transversely polarized nucleons. After briefly outlining the current status of spin-dependent parton densities and pointing out open…
The authors discuss potential remarkable achievements for pulsar science with the FAST (pulsar monitoring, timing and searching, as well as others related), and expect a FAST era of pulsar science to come.
This article reviews our present understanding of the QCD spin structure of the proton. We first outline the proton spin puzzle and its possible resolution in QCD. We then review the present and next generation of experiments to resolve the…
A brief overview is given of recent progress in understanding the dynamics of hot gauge theories.
I briefly review the conceptual developments that led to the Standard Model and discuss some of its remarkable qualitative features. On the way, I draw attention to several puzzling aspects that are beyond the reach of our present…
We summarize the most significant aspects in the study of transverse spin phenomena over the last few decades, focusing on Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering processes and hadronic production in $e^+e^-$ annihilations. The…
Despite many experimental verifications of the correctness of our basic understanding of QCD, there remain numerous open questions in strong interaction physics and we focus on the role of future colliders in addressing these questions. We…
Some personal reflections on the past and future of "econophysics", to appear in Europhysics News
Nuclear Physics has had its ups and downs. However in recent years, bucked up by some new and often puzzling data, it has become a potentially very rich field. We review some of these exciting developments in a few important sectors of…
Evidences of pure spin current are indistinguishable from those of many parasitic effects. Proper choices of materials and methods are essential for exploring pure spin current phenomena and devices.
We are entering an era where the numerical construction of generic spacetimes is becoming a reality. The use of computer simulations, in principle, allows us to solve Einstein equations in their full generality and unravel important…
The concept of infinity took centuries to achieve recognized status in the field of mathematics, despite the fact that it was implicitly present in nearly all mathematical endeavors. Here I explore the idea that a similar development might…
We discuss the future evolution of the universe in the light of recent observations. The apparent luminosity vs. redshift of supernovae favor an accelerating universe. However an Einstein-de Sitter critical universe should not be ruled out…
The working group on Spin Physics at the XXIV International Workshop on Deep-Inelastic Scattering and Related Subjects (DIS2016) witnessed a significant progress in the theoretical and experimental investigations aiming at unveiling the…
We will review some of the theoretical progresses that have been in the study of complex systems in physics and of their applications to biology.
The multi-TeV proton and ion beams of the LHC would allow for the most energetic fixed-target experiment ever. In particular, $pp$, $p$d and $p$A collisions could be performed at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 115~GeV, as well as Pb$p$ and PbA…
The physics potential of the forward physics project at CMS is very rich. Some of the diffraction and low-x physics channels are briefly discussed.
In this talk I present a summary of some of the discussions at the conference on various topics in Photon physics, selected with a view to give a theorist's perspective, of the current status and future prospects, of the developments in the…
