Every second of every day, we are exposed to billions of neutrinos emitted by the Sun, and yet they seem to pass straight through us with no apparent effect at all.

The advent of high-precision antihydrogen spectroscopy has opened up the possibility of direct tests with unprecedented accuracy of some of the most fundamental principles of physics, notably Lorentz and CPT symmetry and the Einstein equivalence principle.

These three lectures cover a certain aspect of complexity and black holes, namely the relation to the second law of thermodynamics.

Dark matter is a frequently discussed topic in contemporary particle physics.

Cosmology describes the evolution of the Universe and is based on a description of its beginning from quantum fluctuations.

'The authors provide an up-to-date, well-organised background and essential elements of supergravity notions as well as all relevant aspects of Chern-Simons forms in gravitation.

Since the discovery of neutrino oscillations neutrino physics has become an interesting field of research in physics.

This book presents, in the form of reviews by world's leading physicists in wide-ranging fields in theoretical physics, the influence and prescience of Skyrme's daring idea of 1960, originally conceived for nuclear physics, that fermions can arise from bosons via topological solitons, pervasively playing a powerful role in wide-ranging areas of physics, from nuclear/astrophysics, to particle physics, to string theory and to condensed matter physics.

During the last six decades, Yang-Mills theory has increasingly become the cornerstone of theoretical physics.

We extend to gravitation our previous study of a quantum wave for all particles and antiparticles of each generation (electron + neutrino + u and d quarks for instance).

The book aims to explain the historical development of particle physics, with special emphasis on CERN and collider physics.

The idea of colliding two particle beams to fully exploit the energy of accelerated particles was first proposed by Rolf Wideroe, who in 1943 applied for a patent on the collider concept and was awarded the patent in 1953.

This book aims to present the history and developments of particle physics from the introduction of the notion of particles by the Ionian school until the discovery of the Higgs boson at LHC in 2012.
