This book provides an introduction to Quantum Field Theory (QFT) at an elementary level—with only special relativity, electromagnetism and quantum mechanics as prerequisites. For this fresh approach to teaching QFT, based on numerous lectures and courses given by the authors, a representative sample of topics has been selected containing some of the more innovative, challenging or subtle concepts. They are presented with a minimum of technical details, the discussion of the main ideas being more important than the presentation of the typically very technical mathematical details necessary to obtain the final results. Special attention is given to the realization of symmetries in particle p...
The Adriatic Meetings have traditionally been conferences on the most - vanced status of science. They are one of the very few conferences in physics aiming at a very broad participation of young and experienced researchers with di?erent backgrounds in particle physics. Particle physics has grown into a highly multi-faceted discipline over the sixty years of its existence, mainly because of two reasons: Particle physics as an experimental science is in need of large-scale laboratory set-ups, involving typically collaborations of several hundreds or even thousands of researchers and technicians with the most diverse expertise. This forces particle physics, being one of the most fundamental di...
The Spanish Relativity Meeting is an annual meeting providing a forum where all subjects in relativity and gravitation can be discussed. During the Spanish Relativity Meeting 2008 topics in general relativity, mathematical relativity, cosmology, astrophysics, numerical relativity, black holes, theories of gravity and string theory were treated.
On the occasion of the World Year of Physics, which commemorated the centenary of the publication of several major papers by Einstein and the birth of the Theory of Relativity, this edition of the Spanish Relativity Meeting is endeavored to cover as many aspects as possible of the foundations, applications and future vistas of this branch of modern physics. Topics included are: foundations of special and general relativity, observational tests, relativistic astrophysics, gravitational waves, numerical relativity, cosmology, early universe, dark matter, exact solutions of Einstein equations, black holes, quantum gravity, string theory, discrete space-time, non-commutative geometry, relativistic statistical and nuclear physics, compact stars, and historical and philosophical perspectives.

This volume is a collection of dedicated reviews covering all aspects of theoretical high energy physics and some aspects of solid state physics. Some of the papers are broad reviews of topics that span the entire field while others are surveys of authors' personal achievements. This is the most comprehensive review collection reflecting state of the art at the end of 2004. An important and unique aspect is a special effort the authors have invested in making the presentation pedagogical

The Abdus Salam Memorial Meeting was held from the 19th to the 22nd of November, 1997 on the first anniversary of the death of Prof Abdus Salam, Nobel laureate and Founder-Director of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics. It was an opportunity for many of his colleagues and students to pay homage to him.This invaluable volume, comprising the papers presented at the meeting, reflects the long-lasting passion of Prof Salam for the theory of the fundamental forces. Most of the contributions are concerned with recent developments in the theory of superstrings, including duality, D-branes and related topics.
The Fourth International Workshop on New Worlds in Astroparticle Physics was the latest in the biennial series, held in Faro, Portugal. The program included both invited and contributed talks. Each of the sessions opened with a pedagogical overview of the current state of the respective field. The following topics were covered: cosmological parameters; neutrino physics and astrophysics; gravitational waves; beyond standard models: strings; cosmic rays: origin, propagation and interaction; matter under extreme conditions; supernovae and dark matter. The proceedings have been selected for coverage in: . OCo Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings). Contents: Overviews in Astroparticle Physics; Astroparticle Physics Beyond the Standard Model; Matter Under Extreme Conditions; Cosmic Rays; Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics; Gravitational Waves and Tests of General Relativity; Supernovae and Dark Matter. Readership: Graduate students and researchers in astroparticle physics."
