A review is presented of the origin and development of the atomic hypothesis from antiquity till about the first millennium of the common era.
A list is given of those open questions concerning the dynamics of charm decays where there exists a strong need for an answer. Such a need is based on lessons to be learnt about QCD -- either in their own right or for a better…
This article offers a gentle introduction to the axiom of choice. We introduce the axiom, discuss some common objections to it, and present three kinds of reasons to accept it. Although the exposition is aimed at non-experts in set theory,…
The quest to comprehend the origins of intelligence raises intriguing questions about the evolution of learning abilities in natural systems. Why do living organisms possess an inherent drive to acquire knowledge of the unknown? Is this…
Large production of the $\ccbar$ pairs and high integrated luminosity make the PEPII B-Factory, an excellent place for studying the charm hadrons. In this paper, we present a few of the most recent results from the BaBar collaboration in…
Lattice determinations of quark mass have made significant progress in the last few years. I will review recent advances in calculations of charm and bottom mass, which are near to achieving percent-level precision and with fully controlled…
We discuss how developments in physics often imply in the need that spacetime acquires an increasingly richer and complex structure. General Relativity was the first theory to show us the way to connect space and time with the physical…
I briefly review the properties of the hidden charm meson X(3872), discussing some puzzling aspects concerning its theoretical interpretation.
The story of (Ward-)Takahashi relations and their impact on physical theory is reviewed.
We present an overview of recent developments in charm physics reported in the Working~Group~7 meetings of the CKM 2016 workshop. Progresses in experimental analysis and techniques were reported by LHCb, Belle, BABAR and BESIII along with…
The question of the existence and possible magnitude of nonperturbative (often called "intrinsic") charm in the proton has long confounded attempts to cleanly isolate such a contribution in global analyses of high-energy experiments. In…
A rewiew of the development of formalism to describe correlations and fluctuations in multiparticle production is presented. The milestones of history of this development and some obvious sources of correlations in experimental data are…
This paper is concerned with complex macroscopic behaviour arising in many-body systems through the combinations of competitive interactions and disorder, even with simple ingredients at the microscopic level. It attempts to indicate and…
Origins of contemporary $B$-physics. Mesons with beauty and charm. Stable tetraquarks? Flavor and the problem of identity. Top matters. Electroweak symmetry breaking and the Higgs sector. Future instruments.
High-precision measurements performed by the LHCb collaboration have opened a new era in charm physics. Several crucial measurements, particularly in spectroscopy, rare decays and CP violation, can benefit from the increased statistical…
We shall proceed to discuss the significance of charm dynamics in an era when the Standard Model is well established in its degrees of freedom but little understood in quite a few of its different parts. The study of decays and asymmetries…
The prompt contribution to the atmospheric neutrino flux is analyzed. It is demonstrated that the corresponding theoretical uncertainties related to perturbative treatment of charm production, notably, the ones stemming from the low and…
The paper is an introduction to intuitionistic mathematics.
The search for dark matter is a very wide and active field of research. Many potential hints of dark matter have appeared recently which led to a burst of theoretical activity and model building. I necessarily concentrate here only in some…
We present preliminary results in the charm sector from a mixed-action setup, in which CLS $N_f=2+1$ ensembles are combined with a Wilson twisted mass valence action. We study the continuum and chiral limits of charm quark observables such…
