We propose an experimental scheme to effectively assemble chains of dipolar gases with an uniform length in a multi-layer system. The obtained dipolar chains can form a chain crystal with the system temperature easily controlled by the…
We review recent developments in charm physics, focusing on the physics of charmed mesons. We discuss charm spectroscopy, decay constants, as well as searches for new physics with charmed mesons. We discuss D0-anti-D0 mixing and…
I review some of the main results on hard diffraction, in their relation to QCD, and indicate some of the strengths and weaknesses of the arguments. I also make some suggestions for future work.
