Quantum chromodynamics is a quantum field theory that describes strong interactions between quarks and gluons. It is the SU(3) gauge theory of the current Standard Model for elementary particles and forces. The book contains several chapters on such topics as quark mixing, the double pole method, th...
Quantum field theory has achieved some extraordinary successes over the past sixty years; however, it retains a set of challenging problems. It is not yet able to describe gravity in a mathematically consistent manner. CP violation remains unexplained. Grand unified theories have been eliminated by...
This book contains seven reviews and four research articles on the various modern approaches to the problem of quark confinement in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). These approaches include microscopic models of the Yang–Mills vacuum, which are based on the condensation of magnetic monopoles and center...

Since the mid-twentieth century, accelerators and colliders have been at the forefront of science and technology in the fields of space, medicine, energy, and others. This book presents sophisticated knowledge about accelerators and colliders and their crucial technological applications. With six ch...
In a world without an axion, the smallness of θ-bar may be achieved due to a spontaneously broken discrete left-right symmetry. We analyze the radiatively induced θ-bar in the context of generic left-right symmetric supersymmetry models without assuming flavor degeneracy in the squark sector. Left-r...
Après avoir rappelé le rapport entre les échelles des énergies et des temps de l'univers selon le modèle cosmologique, et les différentes phases de l'univers primordial qui correspondent à autant d'étapes de l'unification de la théorie des particules élémentaires et de leurs champs d'interaction, on...
