High Energy Physics FROM THE PUBLISHER
There are four fundamental forces in nature: gravitational, electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. The last two are sometimes referred to as nuclear forces. It is the main objective of high energy physics to explore these forces, and hopefully unify them into one fundamental theory. This goal has made high energy physics one of the most ambitious, attractive, challenging, and powerful areas of physics, and has attracted experts from other areas including pure and applied mathematics, and computer science.The MRST annual conference brings together senior and junor investigators and provices a friendly and stimulating atmosphere to discuss recent developments in high energy physics. A broad range of topics in high energy physics are covered in this conference, and therefore this proceedings is very useful to both senior researchers as well as graduate students in high energy physics, nuclear physics, andcomputational physics, and provides most recent ideas, techniques, and directions for future research in this field.
SYNOPSIS
Veterans and neophytes in high-energy physics describe recent developments in the field, and pay tribute to contributions by Joe Schechter, who has been at Syracuse University since 1967, in such areas as chiral dynamics, neutrino physics, weak interactions, and field theory. The plenary talks cover unphysical consequences of imposing boundary conditions on quantum fields, lepton-hadron symmetry and neutrino masses, neutrino masses 25 years later, constructing Lie super-algebras from triple product systems, and Yang-Mills theory on loop space. Another 16 papers discuss the physics of hadrons, superstrings and non-commutative geometry, field theory, and the standard model and beyond. Authors are indexed, but no subject index is provided.
