Book Description
Chiral dynamics provides a rigorous and model-independent methodology for making QCD predictions at the confinement scale. This helps particularly in the testing of the standard model. The workshop reported here was focused on theoretical predictions and the measurements of physical processes, analyzing carefully the phenomenology needed to bridge the gap between the two. Besides the lectures, this volume also contains summaries of the working groups on Â-Â-scattering, ÂN-interaction, photo/electro-pion-production, and on chiral anomaly. This book is a thorough review of the state of the art and it addresses researchers as well as graduate students.

Polarization Dynamics In Nuclear And Particle Physics - Proceedings Of The 2nd Adriatico Research Conference
Author: Asim Orhan Barut
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814553018
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 446
Book Description
In the four years since the first Trieste Meeting on Spin and Polarization Dynamics in Nuclear and Particle Physics, considerable progress has been made both in the theoretical and experimental aspects of this field. The polarization phenomena have given rise to many more detailed and crucial tests which enhance our understanding of particle physics. New information can also be uncovered in the process of conducting the various tests. For this reason, considerable efforts have been put into the present and future accelerators to extend the experimental data to measure polarization asymmetries for both polarized targets and polarized scattered and produced particles. The 2nd Adriatico Research Conference held in January 1992 brought together both theorists and experimentalists who presented many new findings. These findings have been compiled into this compact volume to give a complete picture of the wide range of theoretical and experimental problems, difficulties, results, prospects and hopes which are at the core of particle physics studies today. It will be a useful guide for the present status of polarization phenomena and their fundamental implications.

Author: Vladimir A Miransky
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814502669
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 552
Book Description
The phenomenon of dynamical symmetry breaking (DSB) in quantum field theory is discussed in a detailed and comprehensive way. The deep connection between this phenomenon in condensed matter physics and particle physics is emphasized. The realizations of DSB in such realistic theories as quantum chromodynamics and electroweak theory are considered. Issues intimately connected with DSB such as critical phenomenona and effective lagrangian approach are also discussed.

Lectures on Flavor Physics
Author: U.-G. Meißner
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540222552
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
This volume contains the edited versions of some selected lectures delivered at the famous "Schladming Winter School", devoted to "Flavor Physics" in the present case. Flavor physics is one of the hot topics in contemporary elementary particle physics, because it relates to fundamental questions like the origin of masses, the size and strength of CP violation and the oscillations between various neutrino species. This volume will be useful for graduate students wishing to get more acquainted with the field as well as for lecturers in search of material for seminars of special lectures and courses in quantum field theory.

Chiral Matter - Proceedings Of The Nobel Symposium 167
Author: Egor Babaev
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9811265070
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
A geometric figure has chirality, or handedness, if its mirror image cannot be brought to coincide with itself. The concept of chirality was instrumental in establishing the tetrahedral valences of the carbon atom, and has continued to play a key role in chemistry and molecular biology ever since.The fact that living organisms use only one of two mirror isomers of such molecules as amino acids and sugars, that is, the question of the origin of homochirality of the molecular basis of life, remains an unsolved problem of the same dignity as the origin of dark matter and dark energy.The increasing importance of chirality and topology in condensed matter physics and chemistry, and the production of new states of matter in heavy-ion collisions, have brought the concept of chirality into physics and cosmology in a tangible way while at the same time expanded the physics/chemistry interface. The book is the first to address all aspects of chirality in a single volume.

Chirality and Wobbling in Atomic Nuclei
Author: Costel Marian Petrache
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1040165494
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
The book provides an introduction to both theoretical and experimental results on chirality and wobbling in atomic nuclei. It details the achievements in the study of chirality over the past 25 years since the first prediction of this mode of collective motion in nuclei, as well as those on the wobbling motion. It offers a detailed review of the most relevant theoretical developments on both types of collective motion and the experimental results supporting or not the theoretical predictions. Different views on wobbling are included and confronted with the contradicting experimental results on low-spin wobbling. It is intended to foster further the research on these types of exotic collective motion in nuclei. Which and how these exotic collective motions occur in nuclei, which are their predicted fingerprints and how they are supported by the experimental facts will be presented. Polemics, debates, and ambiguities of the interpretation of the experimental results will be exposed. The reader will have the opportunity to have together different views on the two phenomena which animated the scientific activity in low-energy nuclear physics in many laboratories around the world. The book will be a valuable reference for PhD students, post-docs and researchers in addition to universities and research institutions. Key Features: The first book on chirality and wobbling in nuclei Contains a comprehensive review of topics related to chirality and wobbling, including both theoretical and experimental aspects Contains chapters from leading researchers in the field.

Focus on Boson Research
Author: A. V. Ling
Publisher: Nova Publishers
ISBN: 9781594545207
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
Bosons are particles which form totally-symmetric composite quantum states. As a result, they obey Bose-Einstein statistics. The spin-statistics theorem states that bosons have integer spin. Bosons are also the only particles which can occupy the same state as another. All elementary particles are either bosons or fermions. Gauge bosons are elementary particles which act as the carriers of the fundamental forces such as the W vector bosons of the weak force, the gluons of the strong force, the photons of the electromagnetic force, and the graviton of the gravitational force. Particles composed of a number of other particles (such as protons or nuclei) can be either fermions or bosons, depending on their total spin. Hence, many nuclei are in fact bosons. While fermions obey the Pauli exclusion principle: "no more than one fermion can occupy a single quantum state", there is no exclusion property for bosons, which are free to (and indeed, other things being equal, tend to) crowd into the same quantum state. This explains the spectrum of black-body radiation and the operation of lasers, the properties of superfluid helium-4 and the possibility of bosons to form Bose-Einstein condensates, a particular state of matter. It is important to note that, Bose-Einstein condensation occurs only at ultra-low temperature. There is nothing exotic about bosons otherwise. At any reasonable temperatures, both the boson and fermion particles behave as classical particles, i.e. particle in a box, and follow the Maxwell-Boltzmann Statistics. This book includes leading research from around the world.
