We show that current experimental constraints already severely restrict what might be observable at $e\mu$ colliders. We identify some cases where it may be possible to probe physics beyond what might be possible at other facilities and…
The physics motivation for a very forward detector for the ALICE heavy ion experiment at the CERN LHC is discussed. A phenomenological model describing the formation and decay of a Centauro fireball in nucleus-nucleus collisions is…
The ZEUS detector has been upgraded in a number of areas to prepare for the physics opportunities of HERA II. These upgrades, and their physics rationale and promise, are briefly outlined. The measurement of polarisation at HERA II, and its…
Over the last 30 years or so, a handful of events observed in ground-based cosmic ray detectors seem to have opened a new window in the field of high-energy astrophysics. These events have energies exceeding 5x10**19 eV (the region of the…
A number of seemingly {\it exotic} phenomena seen in the highest cosmic-ray experiments are briefly discussed. We argue that they indicate existence of non-statistical fluctuations and strong correlations in the fragmentation region of…
Experimental prospects for studying high-energy photon-photon and photon-proton interactions at the LHC are discussed. Assuming a typical LHC multipurpose detector, various signals and their irreducible backgrounds are presented after…
Experimental results for photo- and electro-production of open strangeness from the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility are discussed. The results are from work completed by mid-2003 on elementary $KY$ production, nuclear…
This Article provides a brief (non-exhaustive) review of some recent developments regarding the theoretical and possibly experimental study of "exotic" quantum effects in the laboratory with special emphasis on cosmological particle…
A high-energy $e^+e^-$ Linear Collider has been considered since a long time as an important complement to the LHC. Unprecedented precision measurements as well as the exploration of so far untouched phase space for direct production of new…
An overview of the physics motivations for e-e- colliders is presented.
A set of signatures for physics processes of potential interests for the CLIC programme at 1 - 5 TeV are discussed. These signatures, that may correspond to the manifestation of different scenarios of new physics as well to Standard Model…
Physics perspectives with(di)lepton measurements with the ALICE detector at the LHC are reviewed. Special emphasis is placed on heavy flavor physics.
We present an overview over the current status of laboratory experiments searching for (very) weakly coupled slim particles (WISPs). These experiments at the high precision frontier explore new physics beyond the standard model in a…
One of the most striking astrophysical phenomena today is the existence of cosmic ray particles with energies in excess of 10^20 eV. While their presence has been confirmed by a number of experiments, it is not clear where and how these…
Charm physics has been studied with many dedicated accelerators and experiments. In these proceedings, we review the status and the selected results of the current operating BEPCII/BESIII experiment. We also discuss the BESIII data taking…
The cosmic acceleration is one of the most significant cosmological discoveries over the last century. The two categories of explanation are exotic component (dark energy) and modified gravity. We constrain the two types of model by a joint…
Part-3 of "Project X: Accelerator Reference Design, Physics Opportunities, Broader Impacts". The proposed Project X proton accelerator at Fermilab, with multi-MW beam power and highly versatile beam formatting, will be a unique world-class…
We present some aspects of the so-called additive coalescence, with a focus on its connections with random trees, Brownian excursion, certain bridges with exchangeable increments, L\'evy processes, and sticky particle systems.
In these lecture notes, the role of strangeness in relativistic astrophysics of compact stars is addressed. The appearance of strange particles, as hyperons, kaons, and strange quarks, in the core of compact stars is examined and common…
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…
