Techniques and concepts of high energy physics X : [proceedings of a NATO Advanced Study Institute on Techniques and Concepts of High Energy Physics, St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, June 18-29, 1998

The Proceedings of the tenth Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on Tech­ niques and Concepts of High Energy Physics are dedicated to Jane and Bob Wilson. Jane joined Bob at St. Croix for the first session of this Institute, after Bob had stepped down as director of Fermilab, and was scheming to build a modest charm factory in the parking lot of Columbia University's Nevis Laboratory. Through the years, Bob has been a great friend of the School, and much of its success and flavor can be attributed to his guidance and support. The 1998 meeting was held once again at the Hotel on the Cay, and, as before, the work and the fun went on very enjoyably. We had a to­ tal of 76 participants from 23 countries, with the main financial support for the meeting provided by the Scientific Affairs Division of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The ASI was co-sponsored by the U. S. Department of Energy, by the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), by the U.S. National Science Foundation, and by the University of Rochester. As in the case of the previous ASIs, the scientific program was designed for advanced graduate students and recent PhD recipients in experimental particle physics. The present volume of lectures should complement and update the material published (by Plenum) for the first nine ASIs and prove to be of value to a wider audience of physicists. This Volume Contains Material On Various Important Aspects Of Particle Physics. Theoretical Subjects Include A Formulation Of Gauge Theories And The Standard Model, Issues In Quantum Chromodynamics, And Hard Diffraction. Cp Violation And Quark Mixing, Rare And Exotic Decays, And Quantitative Tests Of The Standard Model Are Represented From A Phenomenological View Point. Silicon Detectors, Methods In Calorimetry, Latest Developments In Accelerator Science, And The Challenges Of The Lhc At Cern Are Treated From An Experimenter's Perspective. Papers On Neutrino Physics And Particle Physics In The Early Universe Complete The Panoramic Sweep Of The Field. Problems Are Included To Test The Reader's Understanding Of The Subject Matter. Audience: The Material Is Designed For Advanced Graduate Students And Recent Ph.d. Recipients In Experimental Particle Physics. It Will Also Be Of Value To A Wider Audience Of Physicists.

Includes Bibliographic References And Index. This volume contains material on various important aspects of particle physics. Theoretical subjects include a formulation of gauge theories and the standard model, issues in quantum chromodynamics, and hard diffraction. CP violation and quark mixing, rare and exotic decays, and quantitative tests of the standard model are represented from a phenomenological view point. Silicon detectors, methods in calorimetry, latest developments in accelerator science, and the challenges of the LHC at CERN are treated from an experimenter's perspective. Papers on neutrino physics and particle physics in the early universe complete the panoramic sweep of the field. Problems are included to test the reader's understanding of the subject matter.
