10th Conference on the Intersections of Particle and Nuclear Physics


Book Description

CIPANP 2009 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 nuclei together to physics of the very early Universe and include such topics as neutrinos, hadron physics, spin physics, heavy ion physics, QCD and heavy flavor physics. The Conference papers include descriptions of searches for "new physics", phenomena that cannot be accounted for by current theories.




100 Years of Gravity and Accelerated Frames


Book Description

This collection of papers presents ideas and problems arising over the past 100 years regarding classical and quantum gravity, gauge theories of gravity, and spacetime transformations of accelerated frames. Both Einstein's theory of gravity and the Yang-Mills theory are gauge invariant. The invariance principles in physics have transcended both kinetic and dynamic properties and are at the very heart of our understanding of the physical world. In this spirit, this book attempts to survey the development of various formulations for gravitational and Yang-Mills fields and spacetime transformations of accelerated frames, and to reveal their associated problems and limitations.The aim is to present some of the leading ideas and problems discussed by physicists and mathematicians. We highlight three aspects: formulations of gravity as a Yang-Mills field, first discussed by Utiyama; problems of gravitational theory, discussed by Feynman, Dyson and others; spacetime properties and the physics of fields and particles in accelerated frames of reference.These unfulfilled aspects of Einstein and Yang-Mills' profound thoughts present a great challenge to physicists and mathematicians in the 21st century.




100 Years Werner Heisenberg


Book Description

Over 40 renowned scientists from all around the world discuss the work and influence of Werner Heisenberg. The papers result from the symposium held by the Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Heisenberg's birth, one of the most important physicists of the 20th century and cofounder of modern-day quantum mechanics. Taking atomic and laser physics as their starting point, the scientists illustrate the impact of Heisenberg's theories on astroparticle physics, high-energy physics and string theory right up to processing quantum information.




12th International Workshop on Neutrino Factories, Superbeams, and Betabeams:


Book Description

These proceedings will be of interest to High Energy Physicists, Faculty and post doctoral researchers working in the area of neutrino physics, muon physics, and Accelerator Engineers involved in the design and construction of muon colliders, and neutrino factories. Recently, the neutrino physics has undergone many important developments having far reaching consequences in our understanding of standard model of particle physics. New next generation experiments involving neutrinos are being planned, wherein decisive and precision measurements are required to explore the physics beyond the standard model of particle physics. Neutrino beams of high intensity as well as quality and purity are required for these. The present workshop is a part of the series of annual meetings, the international workshop on Neutrino Factories, Super-beams, beta-beams (NUFACT) devoted to discuss the physics, accelerator and detector technologies of novel and conventional neutrino beams. In addition, the physics of neutrino scattering and experiments involving intense muon beams were also discussed in this meeting.




12th International Conference on Meson-Nucleon Physics and the Structure of the Nucleon


Book Description

"Readership: This conference will be of interest to researchers in theoretical and experimental particle and nuclear physics. The proceedings describe recent progress at understanding the structure and interactions of nuclei, and of their building blocks, protons, neutrons, together with mesons. The papers cover the latest experimental and theoretical developments in the field, and identify the opportunities for future directions. Finally, the use of nuclei as a theatre in which to probe the Standard Model of Particle Physics is explored."--Volume detail webpage.




11th International Symposium on Therapeutic Ultrasound


Book Description

The annual International Symposium on Therapeutic Ultrasound is the main focus of the activities of the International Society for Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU). ISTU's goal is to increase and diffuse knowledge of therapeutic ultrasound to the scientific and medical community, and to facilitate the translation of therapeutic ultrasound techniques into the clinical arena for the benefit of patients worldwide. The Proceedings distill the best presentations of the symposia and provide a reference for new and experienced workers in the field.




2nd International Conference on Methods and Models in Science and Technology (ICM2ST-11)


Book Description

Scientist, Engineers, Technocrats, Academicians, and Researcher have a vital role to play in the process of emergence of new theories, models, systems, and technologies. They also have a responsibility to harness these for common good and strive to prevent their possible ill effects in the era of rapid growth in technologies. ICM2ST-10 will play a significant role in generating awareness about the potential and the limitations of new technologies, concepts, theories, and trends. The chief objective of ICM2ST-10 is to bring together experts from industries, academia, R&D institutions and other user communities on a common platform to discuss and share their expertise and experiences.
