The most unexpected at LHC and the status of high energy frontier : proceedings of the International School of Subnuclear Physics

This title covers such hot theoretical topics such as: Ultraviolet Behavior of N=8 Supergravity (L J Dixon); Is the Best Superstring Model NP Complete? (M R Douglas); Erice Lecture on Microscopic Gravity (G Dvali); Supergravity: Foundations and Applications (S Ferrara); Orienfold String Vacua and Strings at the LHC (D Luest); Seminar on Specialized Topics: Status of Dark Matter and Neutrino Physics (A Bettini); Experimental Evidence for Pointlike Baryons at q2 = 4MB2 (S Pacetti); Neutrino Masses, Dark Matter, Baryon Asymmetry and Inflation can be Explained at Once (M Shaposhnikov); and, Results from RHIC with Implications for LHC (M J Tannenbaum). It also covers topics such as: Quantum Gravity without Space-Time Singularities or Horizons (G 't Hooft); Diffraction in Deep Inelastic Electron Proton Scattering at HERA (G Wolf); The Lesson Needed for the Future (A Zichichi); Highlights from Laboratories: Highlights from RHIC (P R Sorensen); The LHC and Beyond - The Energy Frontier (R D Heuer); Highlights from the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory (E Coccia); Highlights from Fermilab (S J Parke); Special Sessions for New Talents: Radiation Damage Studies for Silicon Sensors for the XFEL (H Perrey); Notes on Chern - Simons Theory in the Temporal Gauge (A Smirnov); and, Dark Matter via Many Copies of the Standard Model (A Vikman).
