Heavy-ion Physics at a Fixed-Target Experiment Using the LHC Proton and Lead Beams (AFTER@LHC): Feasibility Studies for Quarkonium and Drell-Yan Production [PDF]
, 2017 We outline the case for heavy-ion-physics studies using the multi-TeV lead LHC beams in the fixed-target mode. After a brief contextual reminder, we detail the possible contributions of AFTER@LHC to heavy-ion physics with a specific emphasis on quarkonia.

Physics at the LHC -- From Standard Model measurements to Searches for New Physics [PDF]
, 2012 The successful operation of the {\em Large Hadron Collider} (LHC) during the past two years allowed to explore particle interaction in a new energy regime. Measurements of important Standard Model processes like the production of high-\pt\ jets, $W$ and $

Summary of Neutrino 2000 [PDF]
, 2000 Aspects of neutrino physics beyond the Standard Model are emphasized, including the emerging default options for atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations, namely nu_mu to nu_tau and nu_e to nu_{mu,tau} respectively, and the need to check them, the ...

On a Missed Mechanism of Dielectron Production in Nucleon-Nucleon Collisions
, 2010 We examine a new mechanism of $e^+e^-$ pair production in $NN$ collisions associated with the $NN$-decoupled dibaryon $d^\star_1$(1956) formation in the process $NN \to \gamma^\star d^\star_1$, where $\gamma^\star$ is the virtual photon which converts ...

Lectures on neutrino phenomenology
, 2010 The fundamental properties of the lepton sector include the neutrino masses and flavor mixings. Both are difficult to observe because of the extremely small neutrino masses and neutrino-matter cross sections.

Neutrino Experiments and the LHC: Friends Across 14 Orders of Magnitude
, 2013 This proceeding explores some of the questions that connect the LHC and neutrino experiments: What is the origin of mass? What is the meaning of flavor? Is there direct evidence of new forces or particles?

The Higgs puzzle: experiment and theory [PDF]
, 2001 The present experimental and theoretical knowledge of the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking is reviewed. Data still favor a light Higgs boson, of a kind that can be comfortably accommodated in the Standard Model or in its Minimal Supersymmetric ...

Future neutrino oscillation facilities: physics priorities and open issues
, 2006 The recent discovery that neutrinos have mass opens a wide new field of experimentation. Accelerator-made neutrinos are essential. Ideas for future facilities include superbeams beta-beams and neutrino factories, each associated with one or several ...
