Opening talk at Snowmass 2001: a summer study on the future of particle physics.
We review ongoing efforts and discuss possible future directions in informing the public and educating students about Particle Physics.
These lecture notes are based on a set of six lectures that I gave in Edinburgh in 2008/2009 and they cover some topics in the interface between Geometry and Physics. They involve some unsolved problems and conjectures and I hope they may…
In the first part of the talk, I give a low-resolution overview of the current state of particle physics - the triumph of the Standard Model and its discontents. I review and re-endorse the remarkably direct and (to me) compelling argument…
Lecture notes given at the summer school ``Applications of random matrices to physics", Les Houches, June 2004.
Invited Talk presented at the First Arctic Workshop on Particle Physics, Saariselkae, August 1994 and at the Workshop on Elementary Particles and Quantum Field Theory, Moscow, September 1994
Contents: 1. Pomeron physics 2. Multiplicities 3. Single-particle distributions 4. Correlations and fluctuations 5. Special final states and interaction mechanisms 6. Cosmic rays and forward detectors
Talks given at the V Taller de Particulas y Campos (V-TPyC) and V Taller Latinoam. de Fenomenologia de las Interac. Fundam. (V-TLFIF), Puebla, Mexico, 10/30 - 11/3 1995. These lectures are devoted to elementary particle physicists and…
Invited contribution to the inaugural issue of {\em Physics Educator.}
To give teenagers a new, everyday perspective on STEM topics, we use particle physics as our main topic to engage young students. Our strategy is designed to demystify particle physics, making it more accessible and attractive early in high…
Many statistical issues arise in the analysis of Particle Physics experiments. We give a brief introduction to Particle Physics, before describing the techniques used by Particle Physicists for dealing with statistical problems, and also…
After a very brief review of twentieth century elementary particle physics, prospects for the next century are discussed. First and most important are technological limits of opportunities; next, the future experimental program, and finally…
These lectures provide an introduction to the physics of particle colliders. Topics covered include a quantitative examination of the design and operational parameters of Large Hadron Collider, kinematics and observables at colliders, such…
Notes of five lectures given at the 2003 European School of High-Energy Physics, Tsakhkadzor, Armenia, September 2003
The goal of this introduction to symmetries is to present some general ideas, to outline the fundamental concepts and results of the subject and to situate a bit the following lectures of this school. [These notes represent the write-up of…
This writeup summarises some of the highlights from the 2015 Rencontres de Blois, with a compression ratio of about 100:1 relative to the original presentations.
Elementary particle physics is the quadrant of nature whose laws can be written in a few lines with absolute precision and the greatest empirical adequacy. If this is the case, as I believe it is, it must be possible and is probably useful…
An account is given of the methods of working of Experimental High Energy Particle Physics, from the viewpoint of statisticians and others unfamiliar with the field. Current statistical problems, techniques, and hot topics are introduced…
Selected topics in Astroparticle Physics including the CMB, dark matter, BBN, and the variations of fundamental couplings are discussed.
2011 marked the hundredth anniversary both of the famous Solvay conferences, and of the Geiger-Marsden experiment that launched the modern understanding of subatomic structure. I was asked to survey the status and prospects of particle…
