Strong Coupling Gauge Theories And Beyond: The 2nd International Workshop


Book Description

A follow-up of the 1988 Workshop on New Trends in Strong Coupling Gauge Theories, the 1990 Workshop, entitled Strong Coupling Gauge Theories and Beyond, is devoted to discussions on dynamical symmetry breaking and phase structure in various types of strong coupling gauge theories and other theories, their formal aspects and the related models of electroweak symmetry breaking.




Perspectives Of Strong Coupling Gauge Theories: Proceedings Of The 1996 International Workshop


Book Description

This is the proceedings of the third Nagoya workshop on Strong Coupling Gauge Theories (SCGT), after SCGT 88 and SCGT 90. As a tradition of the Nagoya SCGT workshops, the focus is on dynamical symmetry breaking with particular emphasis on the nontrivial fixed points and/or large anomalous dimension, which was actually the basis of walking technicolor, strong ETC technicolor and top quark condensate, etc. Special attention is also paid to the fixed point structure in supersymmetric gauge theories, which has recently been highlighted through duality arguments.




Strong Coupling Gauge Theories and Effective Field Theories


Book Description

Readership: Graduate students and researchers in high energy physics, particularly those interested in dynamical symmetry breaking and effective field theories.




Electroweak Symmetry Breaking - Proceedings Of The International Workshop


Book Description

The papers presented here focus on new developments in both theoretical and phenomenological aspects of standard theory, with an emphasis on understanding of the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking. This workshop covers the formal aspects and the related new models of electroweak symmetry breaking and the present status of the Standard Model.




Broken Symmetry: Selected Papers Of Y Nambu


Book Description

This book contains selected papers of Prof Nambu who is one of the most original and outstanding particle theorists of our time. This volume consists of about 40 papers which made fundamental contributions to our understanding of particle physics during the last few decades.The unpublished lecture note on string theory (1969) and the first paper on spontaneous symmetry breaking (1961) are retyped and included. The book also contains a memoir of Prof Nambu on his research career.




From Symmetries To Strings: Forty Years Of Rochester Conferences


Book Description

This conference celebrates the 40th anniversary of the first Rochester Conference and honours Prof. Susumu Okubo on his 60th birthday. The original Rochester Conference brought a small group of leading physicists to discuss current results and trends in both theory and experiment. The present conference has also adhered to this format — covering the developments in particle physics over the last forty years and presenting the latest theoretical and experimental results in the field.




Rice Meeting, The - Proceedings Of The 1990 Meeting Of The Division Of Particles And Fields Of The Aps (In 2 Volumes)


Book Description

DPF 90 at Rice University was planned as a major conference of truly international character which reviews recent developments in all areas of particle physics. Plenary session topics include new results from SLC, LEP, pp colliders, Heavy Quark Physics, High Energy Astrophysics. Two-day mini-conferences were held on the following subjects: Electroweak Physics, QCD and Hadron Physics, Theory Beyond the Standard Model, Non-accelerator Physics.




Dynamical Symmetry Breaking - Proceedings Of The 1991 Nagoya Spring School


Book Description

This is the first systematic volume which presents a detailed introduction to every facet of the modern version of Dynamical Symmetry Breaking which has been rapidly developed in recent years. Most of the lectures are given by pioneers in this new field and are geared mainly to the level of second year graduate students.




Perspectives on Higgs Physics


Book Description

The masses of fermions and gauge bosons enter the Standard Model through the Higgs mechanism, which is satisfactory technically but is not understood physically. We do not know what nature really does to give mass to particles, nor what experimental clues will lead us to nature's solution. Understanding Higgs physics is necessary in order to complete the Standard Model, and to learn how to extend it and improve its foundations.This book is a collection of current work and thinking about these questions by active workers. It speculates about what form the answers will take, as well as updates and extends previous books and reviews. Some chapters emphasize theoretical questions, some focus on connections with other areas of physics, and some discuss how we can get the data to uncover nature's solution.
