Hadron Structure and QCD: Effective Field Theory for Lattice Simulations
Chiral extrapolations will be essential for many years if one is to connect modern lattice QCD calculations with experiment. Given the enormous... -
Quark Propagator from LQCD and Its Physical Implications
The quark propagator lies at the core of lattice hadron spectrum calculations as well as studies in other nonperturbative schemes. It manifestly... -
Basics of Plasma Physics
Basic properties of plasmas are introduced, which are valid for an extremely wide range of plasma parameters. Plasmas are classified by different... -
Strongly Coupled Plasmas
We give a brief introduction into the basic many-particle effectes in strongly coupled plasmas and their theoretical treatment. Exemplary results are... -
Baryon Spectroscopy in Lattice QCD
We review recent developments in the study of excited baryon spectroscopy in lattice QCD. After introducing the basic methods used to extract masses... -
Hadron Properties with FLIC Fermions
The Fat-Link Irrelevant Clover (FLIC) fermion action provides a new form of nonperturbative O(a)-improvement in lattice fermion actions offering near... -
Magnetic Confinement
This chapter describes the basic principles of magnetic confinement. The main representatives of magnetic confinement are the mirror machine, the... -
Computing the η and η′ Mesons in Lattice QCD
It has been known for a long time that the large experimental singlet-octet mass gap in the pseudoscalar meson mass spectrum originates from the... -
Observation of Plasma Fluctuations
The diagnostics of fluctuating plasma quantities and their evaluation is an important issue in the context of plasma waves, instabilities, and... -
Low Temperature Plasmas
Characteristic properties and generation mechanisms of low temperature plasmas in different gas discharges are presented. A special part is focussed... -
Galaxy Masses: Disks and Their Halos
I review what we currently do and do not know about the masses of disk galaxies and their dark matter halos. The prognosis for disks is good: the... -
Luminosities of Radio-Loud Active Galaxies
We investigate the host galaxy luminosities of three different samples of radio loud active nuclei at z<0.5 including BL Lac Objects (BLLs), Radio... -
Probing the Evolution of Massive Galaxies with the K20 Survey
The motivations and the status of the K20 survey are presented. The first results on the evolution of massive galaxies and the comparison with the... -
The Evolution of Galaxy Mass in Hierarchical Models
Advances in extragalactic astronomy have prompted the development of increasingly realistic models which aim to describe the formation and evolution... -
Studying the Dynamics of Star Forming and IR Luminous Galaxies with Infrared Spectroscopy
With the advent of efficient near-IR spectrometers on 10m-class telescopes, exploiting the new generation of low readout noise, large format... -
What Does the Local Black Hole Mass Distribution Tell Us About the Evolution of the Quasar Luminosity Function?
We present a robust method to derive the duty cycle of QSO activity based on the empirical QSO luminosity function and on the present-day linear... -
Spheroidal Galaxies/QSOs Connection
In view of the extensive evidence of a tight inter-relationship between spheroidal galaxies (and galactic bulges) and massive black holes hosted at... -
The Mass of Radio Galaxies from Low to High Redshift
Using a new radio sample, 6C* designed to find radio galaxies at z > 4 along with the complete 3CRR and 6CE sample we extend the radio galaxy K-z... -
Estimating the Mass of Local Disk Galaxies from the NIR Luminosity
The relation between the dynamical mass ( $\propto V_{max}^2 \times r_{opt}$... -
Clustering at High Redshift
The addition of deep near infrared images to the database provided by the HDF WFPC2 is essential to monitor the SEDs of the objects on a wide...
