High-Energy Nuclear Physics

Nonextensive Statistical Mechanics -applications to Nuclear and High Energy Physics *

A variety of phenomena in nuclear and high energy physics seemingly do not satisfy the basic hypothesis for possible stationary states to be of the type covered by Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics. More specifically, the system appears to relax, along time, on macroscopic states which violate the ergodic assumption. Some of these phenomena appear to follow, instead, the prescriptions ...

Particle and Nuclear Physics with High Energy Leptons

In high centre-of-mass energy lepton-nucleon collisions the space-time time resolution of partonic processes can be fine-tuned within a dynamical range which is unattainable in hadronic collisions. Replacing nucleons by nuclei of variable atomic number enables one to tune the strength of colour forces. The experimental program of high energy electronnucleon and its extension to electron-nucleus...

High Energy Physics,horizons*

The previous sessions have borne witness to the fact &at high energy accelerator and storage ring technology is a.subject of continuing vitality. Nothing dramatizes this more convincingly than the chart (Fig. 1) which shows the growth in energy of the world’s accelerators in time. If one includes in this chart the equivalent laboratory energy of existing and projected colliding beam storage rin...

High Energy Physics GRID

Computing is one of the technologies associated to High Energy Physics (HEP). The needs of the next generation CERN HEP experiments push the development of new computing architectures. The scale of data will be orders of magnitude larger than the one we currently have. In this talk we will present the current status of GRID computing development.
