Product Description

We are confronting unprecedented situations that astrophysical observation meets with high energy physics. The discoveries of dark matter and dark energy as well as neutrino masses indicate the theory beyond the Standard Model, which could be the Grand Unified Theory (GUT). In this proceeding, the GUT is intensively discussed from the various points of views.

Product Description
NuInt09 was the sixth in a series of international workshops concentrating on low-energy neutrino-nucleus interactions. This unique series continues to bring together theorists and experimentalists from both the nuclear and high energy physics communities to address the many challenges that arise in trying to understand these complex interactions. ...

Product Description

These proceedings (of the eighth meeting in a series) focus on current theoretical problems at the junction of particle and nuclear physics. Topics discussed are the spectroscopy of quark bound states, including the newly observed 5-quark system, and the calculation of the effects of high temperature and/or density on strong interactions (with applications to astrophysics and cosmology). They also cover recent progress in the description of electron-proton scattering at short distances and of elastic and quasi-elastic scattering, and discuss some fundamental questions such as the non-observation of colored states (confinement) and the generation of mass (chiral symmetry breaking).

Product Description
This book describes the use of the symbolic manipulation language REDUCE in particle physics. There are several general purpose mathematics packages available to physicists, including Mathematica, Maple, and REDUCE. Each has advantages and disadvantages, but REDUCE has been found to be both powerful and convenient in solving a wide range of problems. This book introduces the reader to REDUCE and demonstrates its utility as a mathematical tool in physics. The first chapter of the book describes the REDUCE system, including some library packages. The following chapters show the use of REDUCE in examples from classical mechanics, hydrodynamics, general relativity and quantum mechanics. The rest of the book systematically presents the Standard Model of particle physics (QED, weak interactions, QCD). A large number of scattering and decay processes are calculated with REDUCE. All example programs from the book can be downloaded via Internet, from http://www.inp.nsk.su/~grozin/book/. The emphasis throughout is on learning through worked examples. ... Read more

Product Description

These proceedings contains articles on the most recent progress in particle and astroparticle physics. Topics such as physics, neutrino physics, dark matter, accelerator physics, and field theory among others are covered through the contribution of different authors. This book contains the contributions to the XI Workshop on particles and fields, a meeting that has been organized periodically for more than 20 years.

Product Description
This two-volume set contains the invited and contributed papers from the 1994 'Rochester' Conference on High Energy Physics, held 20-27 July 1994 in Glasgow, Scotland. This most prestigious of the international conferences on elementary particle physics brought together over 1000 researchers in the field from leading universities and research centres in 47 countries throughout the world. The volumes contain over 250 contributed papers from the parallel sessions of the conference giving details of latest research results in all areas of the subject. These and other recent results were collected and reviewed by the speakers in the 24 plenary sessions, whose talks were subsequently written up in a definitive way and assembled here. These reviews give a comprehensive and state-of-the-art coverage of the entire field in 1994.
Important topics include the latest experimental results from electron-proton collisions at HERA and electron-positron collisions at CERN. Of special interest is the first concrete experimental evidence for the 'top' quark, found in proton-proton collisions at Fermilab. This quark completes the set of six that are predicted by the Standard Model, and its confirmation will mark a decisive moment in the history of physics.
This book is an essential reference for libraries and researchers in high energy physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics and mathematical physics. ... Read more

Product Description
This collection of papers resulted from a series of Rochester Conferences, the international state-of-the-art reviews, occuring initially yearly and later at two-year intervals. Their proceedings particularly in the earlier years provide a more informal and consequently a more realistic account of how physicists think. The author, a theorist, endeavoured to acknowledge appropriately the immense importance of experimental ingenuity and persistence in the development of high-energy physics, though it is a theorist's eye view which is given here. Each Rochester conference is given its own chapter the first introducing the state of the art in high energy physics as it existed in 1950 and the last uses the preceding story as a test case for the evaluation of ideas and claims in the philosophy of science. ...

Product Description
The annual Montreal-Rochester-Syracuse-Toronto (MRST) conference is aimed primarily at theorists in high energy physics. It covers a broad range of topics from formal field theoretic methods to phenomenological issues of current interest. Also of interest to experimental researchers in the field. Topics discussed in high energy physics are: theory and phenomenology; heavy quark physics; neutrinos; collider physics; field theory; gravity; supersymmetry; extensions of the standard model; heavy ion collisions. ...

Proceedings of the 3rd International Symposium on Symmetries in Subatomic Physics, held in Adelaide, Australia, March 13-17, 2000. Topics covered at the conference included the recent results from BaBar Collaboration, the nucleon's strange form factors, and charge symmetry violation in parton distributions. ... Read more

Product Description

This is a conference that explores areas of common interest between nuclear physicists, high energy (particle) physicists, and astrophysicists. These areas range from studies of the strong interactions that bind the nuclei together, to physics of the very early Universe and include such topics as the detailed behavior of neutrinos and searches for "new physics", that is phenomena that cannot be accounted for by our current theories.
