Ian AITCHISON

Ian.Aitchison@cern.ch

Work Description:

(iii) My current work is on various aspects of Thermal Field Theory. (a) Time-dependent effective theories of superfluids and superconductors; these are non-relativistic versions of the U(1) Goldstone and Higgs models, which present interesting problems in the case of non-static processes at finite temperature. (Phys. Rev. B 62 (2000) II 6638-49) (b) Chiral symmetry breaking, and confinement, in QED in two spatial dimensions, at finite temperature; this theory is similar to QCD in three spatial dimensions at finite temperature. (Nucl. Phys. B 578 (2000) 199-214) (iv) Induced quantum numbers at finite temperature.(Phys. Rev. Lett. 86 (2001) 1690-93)

Robert FLEISCHER

Robert.Fleischer@cern.ch

Work Description:

My main research interest is the exploration of CP violation, with a focus on decays of B mesons. After the observation of this phenomenon in the B system through the "B factories" at SLAC and KEK in 2001, the goal is now to perform as many consistency checks of the Standard-Model description of CP violation as possible, with the hope to encounter discrepancies, which could shed light on the physics lying beyond the Standard Model. Besides the theoretical interpretation of the current B-factory data, I am especially interested in B-decay studies at the LHC at CERN, where the physics potential of Bs mesons, which are not accessible at the B factories, can be fully exploited.

Title of lecture
Content
Flavour Physics and CP Violation We will first motivate why studies of CP violation are interesting, and shall then focus on the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, allowing us to accommodate this phenomenon in the Standard Model of electroweak interactions. The central target of the exploration of CP violation is the unitarity triangle (UT) of the CKM matrix, with its angles alpha, beta and gamma. In order to perform stringent tests of the Standard-Model description of CP violation, this triangle has to be overconstrained as much as possible, which can be done through measurements of its sides on the one hand, and its angles on the other hand. We will discuss the relevant processes to determine the sides of the UT, and shall then - after a brief look at the kaon system - move towards CP-violating effects in B-meson decays, which provide measurements the angles of the UT. Here the key role is played by non-leptonic B decays, which are particularly challenging from the theoretical point of view. After discussing the basic features of the framework to deal with such transitions, we will focus on the benchmark modes to explore CP violation, and shall discuss the implications of the currently available B-factory data. The physics programme of the B factories is nicely complemented by B-decay studies at hadron colliders, i.e. run II of the Tevatron and the LHC, where we obtain access to Bs decays. We will discuss characteristic features of Bs decays, as well as strategies to explore CP violation through these transitions. Finally, we will also address "rare" decays of B- and K-mesons, which do not receive contributions at the tree level in the Standard Model, but originate from strongly suppressed loop processes.

Alexander KHODJAMIRIAN

khodjam@particle.uni-karlsruhe.de

Work Description:

My main interests are in the field of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and hadron phenomenology. The recent works are concentrated on applying and developing the method of QCD sum rules. This technique allows one to calculate hadronic decay amplitudes and transition form factors combining short-distance perturbative calculations with universal parameters encoding the long-distance quark-gluon dynamics. In recent years, I was working on the applications of QCD to B physics where a model-independent knowledge of hadronic observables is necessary for extracting the fundamental electroweak parameters from experimental data.

Title of lecture
Content
Quantum Chromodynamics 1. Introducing QCD
Quarks and gluons of the Standard Model, SU(3) gauge symmetry; the QCD Lagrangian; Feynman diagrams in perturbative QCD; the running of the quark-gluon coupling and quark masses; asymptotic freedom and confinement.

2. From quarks to hadrons
The observed spectrum of hadrons: mesons and baryons; light and heavy hadrons; quarkonia; glueballs; flavour symmetries: isospin, SU(3) and heavy quark symmetry.

3. Quark-gluon interactions at short distances
Electroweak quark currents; use of perturbative QCD in e
++e- to hadrons, deep inelastic scattering and heavy quark decays; separating short- and long-distance interactions with the operator-product expansion.

4. Long-distance dynamics and QCD vacuum
Chiral dynamics of hadrons, the quark condensate; probing vacuum condensates with the correlators of quark currents.

5. Calculating hadronic parameters
QCD sum rules; quark-hadron duality; why hadrons are not alike; hadronic decay constants and form factors from QCD sum rules; applications to B physics.


Ioseb MANJAVIDZE

ioseb.manjavidze@cern.ch

Work Description:

To come.

Title of lecture
Content
Thermodynamical description of inelastic collisions The lecture is devoted to the description of various attempts widely used in many laboratories to introduce thermodynamical methods in particle physics. The corresponding phenomenology will be discussed. The S-matrix interpretation of thermodynamics will be introduced to have the quantitative background of these attempts. It allows to find the method of experimental verification of the approach.
The peculiarities of the S-matrix interpretation of thermodynamics are clearly seen in comparision with Schwinger-Keldysh real-time thermodynamics, the Matsubara formalism and with Zubarev's noneequilibrium thermodynamics.

READING LIST

  • Ian AITCHISON, Oxford University

The lectures will assume knowledge of: the Klein-Gordon and Dirac wave equations for spin-0 and spin-1/2 particles respectively, and their plane wave (free-particle) solutions; gauge transformations in classical electromagnetism; the quantum mechanics of a particle in an external electromagnetic potential, and gauge invariance in quantum mechanics; simple ideas of creation and annihilation operators; canonical quantisation of free K-G and Dirac fields; simple ideas of symmetries in Lagrangian Field Theory.
This material is covered (for instance) in Chapters 2, 3 and 4 of "Gauge Theories in Particle Physics" by I. J. R. Aitchison and A. J. G. Hey (Second Edition, 1989, Adam Hilger), or (better!) in the new Third Edition of the same book, published in 2003 by Institute of Physics Publishing, chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and sections 7.1 and 7.2 from chapter 7.

By way of preparation for the school, I recommend:-
(a) For field theory: the most useful source for the lectures is "Gauge Theories in Particle Physics" by I. J. R. Aitchison and A. J. G. Hey (Third Edition, 2003, Institute of Physics Publishing). Read chapter 6, sections 7.3 and 7.4 from chapter 7, and chapters 10 and 11.
You may also find the following helpful:
Notes of the lectures by Jeff Forshaw ("An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory"),

and by Adrian Singer ("An Introduction to QED") in the Proceedings of the 2000 School for Young High Energy Physicists at the Rutherford Laboratory, 3-15 September, 2000 (Technical Report RAL-TR-2001-016, edited by P. M. Watkins).
See also the notes by Andy Cohen for the 1996 European (Cern) school on "Field Theory" in the "Yellow" report CERN-97-03. This can be accessed via the Web at
http://weblib.cern.ch/Home/Library_Catalogue/Yellow_Reports/
Note that I shall be following the "canonical quantisation" approach (i.e. with creation and annihilation operators), not the path-integral approach.
(b) For the Standard Model, some possibilities are:

notes of lectures by Douglas Ross on "The Standard Model" in the same 2000 RAL School School (included in the same Report) ,
and my lectures on "Standard Model Foundations" in the Proceedings of the Forty Second Scottish Universities Summer School in Physics, St Andrews, August 1993 (Copublished by SUSSP Publications and by Institute of Physics Publishing, 1994), pages 1-77.

My lectures at the 2003 European School will have some overlap with the St Andrews lectures!
(c) Textbook references: Probably the most straightforward introduction to QED in the canonical (i.e. not path-integral) formalism is provided by "Quantum Field Theory" by F. Mandl and G. Shaw (John Wiley, 1984). This also contains an introduction to the electroweak theory.
The standard graduate text for particle theorists is "An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory" by M. E. Peskin and D. V. Schroeder (Adison-Wesley, 1995).
(d) See also, of course, the notes of my lectures at the 2001 School in the Yellow Report CERN 2002-002.
