Techniques and Concepts of High-Energy Physics by Harrison B. Prosper, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

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. | Techniques and Concepts of High-Energy Physics by Harrison B. Prosper, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
