A recent workshop on new developments in nucleon spin structure, held at the ECT* in Trento, revived memories of the famous Council of Trento of 1530.
Read article 'Quark Model and High Energy Collisions'
QCD-motivated, it gives a detailed description of hadron structure and soft interactions in the additive quark model, and is aimed at graduate students and researchers in particle and nuclear physics.
Read article 'Quark-Gluon Plasma 3'
This is the third volume in a series on the subject, and the first such monograph to focus on the implications of the experimental results from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven.
Read article 'Digging deep in the High Tatras mountains'
The latest in the DIS series of workshops looked at probing the proton to reveal more about quantum chromodynamics.
Read article 'When quarks and gluons become free'
Recent results and future experiments were the topics in a workshop to look into exactly what happens as strongly interacting matter becomes deconfined.
Read article 'Experiments pass the one-hundred mark'
A decade after achieving its first beam, the US Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility completed data collection on its 100th and 101st experiments.
Read article 'D0 sharpens its top-quark measurement'
The D0 collaboration at Fermilab has applied a new technique for measuring the mass of the top quark that yields a more precise result than previously.
Read article 'Joining up the dots with the strong force'
A new variation on an old technique is yielding the most precise results so far in lattice calculations of quantum chromodynamics, the theory of strong interactions, as Christine Davies explains.
