This is the proceedings article for the concluding lecture of the 1999 High Energy Physics Conference of the European Physical Society. In this article, I review a number of topics that were highlighted at the meeting and have more general…
I present an overview of predictions for the heavy ion program at the Large Hadron Collider. It is mainly based on the material presented during the workshop 'Heavy Ion Collisions at the LHC - Last Call for Predictions', held in the frame…
Review to appear in Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics. Contents: {1}Introduction}{1} {2}High precision LEP data and convergence of couplings: physics is not Euclidean geometry}{2} {3}Interconnections between the measured quantities…
This article summarizes main developments of the hadron colliders and physics results obtained since their inception around forty years ago. The increase in the collision energy of over two orders of magnitude and even larger increases in…
We analyze the manifestations of new matter particles predicted by models of new physics beyond the Standard Model, at present and future high--energy colliders. We consider both the production of these new particles and some of their…
This proceeding broadly overviews the current landscape of heavy exotic spectroscopy. Such work includes the composition of certain X, Y , and Z states, and proceeds to discuss tetraquarks made exclusively of four quarks.
We explore various aspects of top quark phenomenology at the Large Hadron Collider and proposed future machines. After summarising the role of the top quark in the Standard Model (and some of its well-known extensions), we discuss the…
In the past few years the field of hadron spectroscopy has seen renewed interest due to the pubblication, initially mostly from B-Factories, of evidences of states that do not match regular spectroscopy, but are rather candidates for bound…
We give a pedagogical introduction to heavy quarkonia -- bound states of a heavy quark and its antiquark (e.g., charmonium $c\bar{c}$, bottomonium $b\bar{b}$) -- as well as to the exotic hadrons containing two heavy quarks that have been…
High energy hadron colliders have been the tools for discovery at the highest mass scales of the energy frontier from the SppS, to the Tevatron and now the LHC. This report reviews future hadron collider projects from the high luminosity…
Although the LHC experiments have searched for and excluded many proposed new particles up to masses close to 1 TeV, there are many scenarios that are difficult to address at a hadron collider. This talk will review a number of these…
A brief review of jet physics is presented with an emphasis upon open theoretical problems (non-perturbative domain; hadronization and confinement) and new phenomena (hadroproduction in heavy ion collisions).
In this article, we review some of the complexities of jet algorithms and of the resultant comparisons of data to theory. We review the extensive experience with jet measurements at the Tevatron, the extrapolation of this acquired wisdom to…
I give a summary of Section E of the sixth edition of the Conference "Quark confinement and the hadron spectrum". Papers were presented on different subjects, from spectroscopy, including pentaquarks and hadron structure, to new physics…
In these lectures I cover various aspects of Chiral Symmetry in the hadronic world from a pre-QCD perspective. I also discuss the absence of spontaneous symmetry breaking in d=4 large N O(N) models.
This contribution presents a selection of the topics (parton densities, fixed-order calculations, parton showers, soft-gluon resummation) discussed in my introductory lectures at the Workshop and includes a pedagogical overview of the…
A review of searches for physics beyond the Standard Model carried out at high energy lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron facilities is presented, with emphasis on topics of interest for future data taking at the upgraded Tevatron $p{\bar p}$…
In this talk I give a short review of theoretical results on the properties of hadrons in cold, equilibrium nuclear matter. I then discuss the observable consequences of any changes of these properties inside the medium in actual…
Having in mind present uncertainty of the experimental situation in respect to exotic hadrons, it is important to discuss any possible theoretical arguments, pro and contra. Up to now, there are no theoretical ideas which could forbid…
The hard scatter from initial state hadrons to final state partons at LHC is reviewed with 2010 integrated luminosity. Plots showing certain quantities are shown as well as the powerful software tools for describing expectations.
