I review aspects of the theory of the weak interaction in a set of lectures originally presented at the 2016 CERN-JINR European School of Particle Physics. The topics discussed are: (1) the experimental basis of the V-A structure of the…

The three theoretical and historical components of the Standard Model are the exact chiral gauge theory of weak interactions, electroweak unification, and the Higgs mechanism for spontaneous symmetry breaking. I put into historical…

This article is a summary of four introductory lectures on ``Neutrino Experiments,'' given at the 2006 TASI summer school. The purposes were to sketch out the present questions in neutrino physics and to discuss the experimental challenges…

Plenary talk at the conference, LATTICE 99, held in Pisa, Itay from June 29 to July 3, 1999.

Proceedings of invited lecture at the Zuoz summer school on hadronic aspects of collider physics, August 23-31, 1994, Zuoz, Switzerland. Describes the PHI factory DAPHNE being built at Frascati, Italy, and the physics that can be done…

One of the major developments of twentieth century physics has been the gradual recognition that a common feature of the known fundamental interactions is their gauge structure. In this article the authors review the early history of gauge…

Lectures presented at the Les Houches 2016 Summer School "Integrability: from Statistical Systems to Gauge Theory".

Early developments leading to renormalizable non-Abelian gauge theories for the weak, electromagnetic and strong interactions, are discussed from a personal viewpoint. They drastically improved our view of the role of field theory, symmetry…

These are the notes of a set of four lectures which I gave at the 2012 CERN Summer School of Particle Physics. They cover the basic ideas of gauge symmetries and the phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking which are used in the…

These notes provide an introductory exposition of the Seiberg-Witten gauge theory. They collect the material presented in a series of seminars given by the author at the University of Milano.

These notes are based on lectures presented at the 2001 Les Houches Summerschool ``Unity from Duality: Gravity, Gauge Theory and Strings''

Talk at the International Workshop "New Non Perturbative Methods and Quantization on the Light Cone", Les Houches, France, Feb.24-March 7, 1997

The brief review of the duality between gauge theories and closed strings propagating in the curved space is based on the lectures given at ITEP Winter School - 2005

This is a brief presentation of historical introduction to the theoretical concept of neutrino oscillation during the early stage up to 60's. (Openig address at the Europhysics NEUTRINO OSCILLATION WORKSHOP (NOW' 98), 7-9 Sept. 1998,…

These are the proceedings of the fourth international workshop on "Chiral Dynamics: Theory and Experiment" which was held at the University of Bonn, September 8-13, 2003. The workshop concentrated on the various experimental andtheoretical…

The aim of this introductory lecture is to review the arguments, according to which the symmetry properties of the strong interaction reveal themselves at low energies. I first discuss the symmetries of QCD, then sketch the method used to…

The history of weak interactions starting with Fermi's creation of the beta decay theory and culminating in its modern avatar in the form of the electroweak gauge theory is described. Discoveries of parity violation, matter-antimatter…

Lectures held at the 22nd "Saalburg" Summer School (2016)

This is a written version of the opening talk at the 6th International Workshop on Chiral Dynamics, at the University of Bern, Switzerland, July 6, 2009, to be published in the proceedings of the Workshop. In it, I reminisce about the early…

A short lecture given at the Summer School on "Modern perspectives in lattice QCD", Les Houches, August 3-28, 2009.
