Techniques and concepts of high-energy physics : [proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Techniques and Concepts of High-Energy Physics, St. Croix, Virgin Islands, USA, 15-26 June 2000

Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute, St.Croix, Virgin Islands, USA, 15-26 June 2000 The eleventhAdvancedS tudyInstitute(ASI) on Techniquesand Con ceptsof High Energy Physics marks thetransitionfrom anextraordinary centuryof scienceto one thatwill surely bring wonderswe can scarcely imagine. It also marks a transitionfrom its founder, theinimitableTom Ferbel, to its newdirectors . We are honoredto have beenasked to con tinue the venerabletraditionthat Tom established. The school is his distinctivecreation, and will always bearhis mark. The 2000 meetingwas held at the Hotel on the Cay in St. Croix. It is an ideal location: sufficientlysecluded to inspire a vigorous but informal intellectualatmosphere, yet closeenough to the main island to afford opportunitiesto mingle with the locals and partakeof their hospitality. Altogether 76 physicistsboth young, and not so young, par ticipatedfrom 18 count r ies . Forthe first time, this meetingattract ed a substantialnumber of studentsfrom EasternEurope, all of whom were warmly welcomed. The bulk of thefinancialsupportfor themeetingwas providedby the ScientificAffairs Division of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization(NATO). The ASI was co-sponsoredby the U .S. Depart ment of Energy (DOE), by the Fermi National Ac celeratorLaboratory (Fermilab), by the U.S . NationalS cien ceFoundation(NSF), the Univer sity of Rochester, Florida State University (FSU) and the Institutefor Theoreticaland ExperimentalPhysics (ITEP, Moscow). As is the tradition, the scientificprogramwas designedfor advanced graduatestudentsand recentPhD recipientsin experimentalparticle physics. The present volume covers topics that updateand comple ment those published (by Plenum and Kluw er) for the first ten ASIs. The materi al in this volume shou ld be of interest to a wide audience of physicists Front Matter....Pages i-xiv The Standard Model: 30 Years of Glory....Pages 1-49 Bremsstrahlung....Pages 51-96 Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe....Pages 97-141 Introduction to Superstring Theory....Pages 143-187 Neutrino Mass and Oscillations....Pages 189-249 New Developments in Charged Particle Tracking....Pages 251-311 Issues in Calorimetry....Pages 313-367 An Update on the Properties of the Top Quark....Pages 369-379 Accelerator Physics and Circular Colliders....Pages 381-387 Workshop on Confidence Limits....Pages 389-399 Back Matter....Pages 402-411 I have to start with three disclaimers:  Most of the subject is now history, but I am not an historian, I hope the main core will be exact but I may err on some details.
