8th Workshop on Theory, Phenomenology and Experiments in Flavour Physics: Neutrinos, Flavor Physics and Beyond (FP@Capri2022) (Springer Proceedings in Physics #292)

by Giulia Ricciardi Guglielmo De Nardo Mario Merola

This book is a collection of invited contributions presented at the 8th edition of the International Workshop on Theory, Phenomenology and Experiments in Flavour Physics, held on the Island of Capri, Italy, on 11–13 June 2022. It is a joint workshop between experimentalists and theoreticians aiming at debating recent results and hot topics in flavour physics, in an interdisciplinary effort. Flavour, electroweak physics and neutrino physics are all foremost in the assessment of results within the standard model and search for physics beyond. Anomalies in flavour physics are hints on new physics, while with neutrino masses and oscillations the new physics has already started. Contributions deal mainly with the flavour anomalies, the flavour problem from leptons to quarks and back, including continuous versus discrete symmetries, and the connections between the Higgs sector and neutrinos, embracing see-saw models and Higgs potential analyses. Focus is on neutrinos, at high and low scales, including LHC searches and CLVF, leptogenesis, connections with dark sectors and NP mediators, non-standard neutrino interactions and the problem of the nature of massive neutrinos.

9 Millionen Fahrräder am Rande des Universums: Obskures aus Forschung und Wissenschaft (Erlebnis Wissenschaft)

by Michael Gross

»Hofnarr« der Chemie Ausgeforscht - so heißt eine Rubrik in den »Nachrichten aus der Chemie«, in der der Chemiker und Wissenschaftsjournalist Michael Groß alle zwei Monate einen seiner »unsachlichen« Beiträge veröffentlicht - als »Hofnarr«, wie er selbst sagt. Groß schafft in seinen ironischheiteren Kommentaren die seltene Kombination aus guter, unterhaltsamer Schreibe und der Vermittlung von Fachwissen. Gerne sucht er sich abseitige Themen, scheinbar jedenfalls. Aber was ist schon abseitig für Forscher, die aus verwesenden Fischen die Biolumineszenz herauskitzeln oder mit Rattenschwänzen experimentieren? 100 »unsachliche« Beiträge »9 Millionen Fahrräder am Rande des Universums« ist eine Sammlung seiner Glossen und Kommentare der letzten 10 Jahre. In 100 »unsachlichen « Beiträgen kommentiert Dr. Groß respektlos und für alle verständlich Forschung und Forscher und entdeckt die Komik im Normalen. Hier finden Sie Antwort auf die Frage, warum trotz guter Luft im Großraumbüro schlechtes Klima herrschen kann und es Einzelnen gehörig stinkt. Oder Sie erfahren, was es mit dem aufregenden Liebesleben der Glühwürmchen, die biologisch korrekt Leuchtkäfer heißen, auf sich hat. Sprachpirouetten statt Fachchinesisch Launig dreht Michael Groß seine sprachlichen Pirouetten, erklärt fast spielerisch wissenschaftliche Sachverhalte, stellt - für jeden leicht nachvollziehbar - neue Forschungsergebnisse vor, spießt aber genauso leidenschaftlich Themen aus der Kategorie Pleiten, Pech und Pannen auf; wie die Fehlkonstruktion der Londoner Millenniums-Fußgängerbrücke über die Themse, die im Jahr 2000 eröffnet wurde. Leider hatten die Ingenieure nicht daran gedacht, dass durchaus auch mal Fußgänger über eine Fußgängerbrücke laufen bzw. an die Schwingungen, die diese verursachen. Was aus der Riesenschaukel wurde? Lesen Sie selbst!

The A B C of Nerves (Psychology Revivals)

by D.F. Fraser-Harris

Originally published in 1928, the preface reads: "It is almost impossible to distinguish between what is ‘elementary’ and what is ‘advanced’ in regard to the nervous system. The constitution and functions of that system are so little matters of common knowledge that it would be safe to assume that practically nothing of its physiology is known to the ordinary reader. The selection of what is necessary to be known and likely to be comprehended by readers who have no previous knowledge of anatomy and physiology is, therefore, no easy task. It is certain that in the opinion of some authorities much has been omitted that should have been included; one can but say in self-defence that to have included more than is here considered would have exceeded the limits of a treatise whose title is the A B C." Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.

The Aarhus Convention: Towards Environmental Solidarisation (Environmental Politics and Theory)

by Duncan Weaver

The Aarhus Convention on access to information, public participation in decision-making and access to justice in environmental matters has been celebrated as a pioneering international environmental agreement. Given that a quarter-century has passed since Aarhus was opened for signature, now is an opportune moment to revisit it from a fresh perspective. Marking this anniversary, this book explores Aarhus from the vista of the English School of International Relations, an ethically-minded perspective used to gauge the prevalence of state-oriented and human-oriented progress from the Convention's rationales and realities. It firstly considers Aarhus' propagation, investigating the legal, diplomatic and geopolitical contexts enabling its emergence. It secondly investigates Aarhus' germination, with reference to its trinity of procedural rights. Thirdly, the book examines the Convention's growth, in terms of the development of its organisational infrastructure. The chief finding is that Aarhus demonstrates, in environmental contexts, the feasibility and benefit of fostering 'humankind' solidarist progress, rooted in moral cosmopolitanism, within the existing power arrangements of a sovereignty-based pluralism. Pluralist concerns for diversity and international order are found to be a precondition for more ethically ambitious solidarist endeavours. These observations reinforce the logic of solidarisation, an English School innovation that presents sovereignty as (a) being ethically matured by solidarism whilst (b) delimiting solidarism within the threshold of states' tolerance.

Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Analysis Based on Reduced-Dimensionality Reaction Route Map (Springer Theses)

by Takuro Tsutsumi

This thesis proposes useful tools, on-the-fly trajectory mapping method and Reaction Space Projector (ReSPer), to analyze chemical reaction mechanisms by combining the reaction route map and the ab initio molecular dynamics. The key concept for the proposed tools is the Cartesian distance between pairwise molecular structures, and a practical procedure to get the optimal distance is introduced. The on-the-fly trajectory mapping method tracks the distance function between reference structures and molecular structures along the trajectory. Although this method provides fruitful insight into dynamic reaction behaviors, the visualization of reaction routes into a low-dimensional space is still challenging because of the multi-dimensionality. ReSPer successfully constructs a low-dimensional reaction space defined by mathematically-selected principal coordinates representing mutual distance relationships in the full-dimensional space. ReSPer also enables us to project trajectories into the reaction space in the reduced dimension. In this thesis, these methods are applied to several reactions, including bifurcating and photochemical reactions, revealing dynamically-allowed reaction mechanisms. This thesis provides robust and versatile tools to elucidate dynamical reaction routes on the basis of the reduced-dimensionality reaction route map and will help control chemical reaction dynamics and select descriptors for machine learning.
