β¦ Synopsis
In August/September 2002, a group of 78 physicists from 50 laboratories in 17 countries met in Erice, Italy, to participate in the 40th Course of the International School of Subnuclear Physics. The purpose of the School was to focus attention on the theoretical and phenomenological developments in gauge theories, as well as in all the other sectors of subnuclear physics. Experimental highights from the most relevant sources of new data were presented and discussed, including the latest news on theoretical developments in quantizing the gravitational forces.
This volume constitutes the proceedings of the School. It is dedicated to the memory of Victor Frederick Weisskopf, a founder Π²Πβ together with John Stewart Bell, Patrick Maynard Stuart Blackett and Isidor Isaac Rabi Π²Πβ of the "Ettore Majorana" Centre for Scientific Culture, this School being the first of its 114 Schools now in existence.

This book introduces quark gluon-plasma (QGP) as a primordial matter composed of quarks and gluons, created at the time of the "Big Bang". After a pedagogical introduction to gauge theories, various aspects of quantum chromodynamic phase transitions are illustrated in a self-contained manner. The co
This book introduces the lattice approach to quantum field theory. The spectacular successes of this technique include compelling evidence that exchange of gauge gluons can confine the quarks within subnuclear matter. The lattice framework enables novel schemes for quantitative calculation and has c
