1 An Introduction to the Physics of the Early Universe
We present an elementary introduction to the Early Universe. The basic features of the hot Big Bang are reviewed in the framework of the fundamental...
-
7 Brane-World Cosmology
According to recent ideas from particle physics, the universe could be a higher-dimensional spacetime, with our observable part of the universe being...

The Structure Functions F2 c , F L and F L c in the Framework of the k T Factorization
We present the perturbative parts of the structure functions F2 c and F L...

B Physics and CP Violation
After an introduction to the Standard-Model description of CP violation, we turn to the main focus of these lectures, the B-meson system. Since...

Deep Inelastic J/ψ Production at HERA in the Colour Singlet Model with k T -Factorization
We consider J/ψ meson production in ep deep inelastic scattering in the colour singlet model using the k T...

Heavy Flavor Production off Protons and in a Nuclear Environment
These lectures present an overview of the current status of the QCD based phenomenology for open and hidden heavy flavor production at high energies....
-
4 Abelian Gauge Fixing
The formation of monopoles and their condensation in the QCD ground state is a feature which is related to abelian gauge fixing, discussed in this...
-
Light-Quark Dynamics
At low energies E ≪ M W , the interactions of leptons and hadrons are described by QCD + QED up to corrections of order...

Measurement of the $b\bar{b}$ Production Cross Section in 920 GeV Fixed-Target Proton-Nucleus Collisions at the HERA-B Detector
The $b\bar{b}$ production cross section has been measured using...

BaBar Experiment Status and Recent Results
The BaBar detector at SLAC PEP-II asymmetric B-Factory has collected between 1999 and 2002 a data sample of 88 millions...
-
Unifying Aspects of Light- and Heavy-Systems
Dyson-Schwinger equations furnish a Poincaré covariant framework within which to study hadrons. A particular feature is the existence of a...
-
One-Loop Corrections to Polarization Observables
We review the physics of polarization observables in high energy reactions in general and discuss the status of NLO one–loop corrections to these...
-
Heavy Quarks on the Lattice
I review the basic ideas behind lattice QCD calculations that involve charm and bottom quarks. I report on the progress in getting the correct...

Appendix B: The Relation between Minkowski and Euclidean Actions
The Minkowski action leads to canonical quantization and it is used to calculate matrix elements of the evolution operator e...

5 The Confinement of SU(3) Color Charges
If we wish to describe color confinement in terms of the Meissner effect of a dual superconductor, we need to adapt the Landau-Ginzburg model to the...
-
Appendix D. Color Charges of Quarks and Gluons
In $SU\left( 2\right) $ , the charge operator is:...

2 The Symmetry of Electromagnetism with Respect to Electric and Magnetic Charges
The possible existence of magnetic charges and the corresponding electromagnetic theory was investigated by Dirac in 1931 and 1948 [49, 9]. The...

Neutrino Physics – Theory
We discuss recent developments in neutrino physics and focus, in particular, on neutrino oscillations and matter effects of three light active...

9 The Goldstone Theorem
The mechanism of SSB does not only provide a general strategy for unifying the description of apparently different systems, but it also provide...

1 Symmetries of a Classical System
The realization of symmetries in physical systems has proven to be of help in the description of physical phenomena: it makes it possible to relate...
