Developing tutorials for advanced physics students : processes and lessons learned [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Supported by the University of Colorado and NSF-CCLI grant #1023028.When education researchers describe newly developed curricular materials, they typically concentrate on the research base behind their design, and the efficacy of the final products, but

Physics and causation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The paper makes a case for there being causation in the form of causal properties or causal structures in the domain of fundamental physics. That case is built in the first place on an interpretation of quantum theory in terms of state reductions so that

Physics of classical electromagnetism

open access: yes, 2007
The classical electromagnetism described by the Maxwell equations constitutes a fundamental law in contemporary physics. Even with the advent of sophisticated new materials, the principles of classical electromagnetism are still active in various applied

Separability and Non-Individuality : Is it possible to conciliate (at least a form of) Einstein's realism with quantum mechanics? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In this paper we argue that physical theories, including the most recent ones, even if only implicitly, talk of `objects' (or `things') of some sort (really, of several sorts), and question the logico-mathematical apparatus we still use to formulate them,

Mathematical methods of classical physics

open access: yes, 2017
This short primer, geared towards students with a strong interest in mathematically rigorous approaches, introduces the essentials of classical physics, briefly points out its place in the history of physics and its relation to modern physics, and ...

Discussion Note: Conceptual Problems in Classical Electrodynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
I have argued that the standard ways of modeling classical particle-field interactions rely on a set of inconsistent assumptions. This claim has been criticized in (Muller forthcoming).

Prospects for kaon physics at LHCb

open access: yes, 2019
Despite not being designed for it, the LHCb experiment has given world-leading contributions in kaon and hyperon physics. In this contribution I review the prospects for kaon physics at LHCb exploiting the already acquired data and the current and future

Seven Steps Towards the Classical World [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Classical physics is about real objects, like apples falling from trees, whose motion is governed by Newtonian laws. In standard quantum mechanics only the wave function or the results of measurements exist, and to answer the question of how the ...

On the Persistence of Homogeneous Matter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Some recent philosophical debate about persistence has focussed on an argument against perdurantism that discusses rotating perfectly homogeneous discs (the `rotating discs argument'; RDA). The argument has been mostly discussed by metaphysicians, though
