The fifth Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on Techniques and Concepts
of High Energy Physics was held again at the Hotel on the Cay, in
the scenic harbor of Christiansted, St. Croix, U. S. Virgin
Islands. The ASI brought together a total of 71 participants, from
17 different countries. It was another great success, due to the
dedication of the inspiring lecturers, the exceptional study body,
and, of course, the beautiful setting. The primary support for the
meeting was again provided by the Scientific Affairs Division of
NATO. The ASI was cosponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, by
Fermilab, by the National Science Foundation, and by the University
of Rochester. A special contribution from the Oliver S. and Jennie
R. Donaldson Charitable Trust provided an important degree of
flexibility, as well as support for worthy students from developing
nations. As in the ca se of the previous ASI's, the scientific
program was designed for advanced graduate students and recent PhD
recipients in experimental particle physics. The present volume of
lectures should complement the material published in the first four
ASI's, and prove to be of value to a wider audience of physicists.
The seventh Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on Techniques and
Concepts of High Energy Physics was held for the second time at the
Club St. Croix, in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. The ASI brought
together a total of 75 participants, from 19 countries. The primary
support for the meeting was again provided by the Scientific
Affairs Division of NATO. The ASI was cosponsored by the U.S.
Department of Energy, by Fermilab, by the National Science
Foundation, and by the University of Rochester. A special
contribution from the Oliver S. and Jennie R. Donaldson Charitable
Trust provided an important degree of flexibility, as well as
support for worthy students from developing countries. As in the
case of the previous ASIs, the scientific program was designed for
advanced graduate students and recent PhD recipients in
experimental particle physics. The present volume of lectures
should complement the material published in the first six ASIs, and
prove to be of value to a wider audience of physicists.
The ninth Advanced Study Institute (AS!) on Techniques and Concepts
of High Energy Physics was almost canceled before ifbegan! A
certain visitor to the area (Hurricane Bertha) arrived unexpectedly
early in 1996. It was the first hur ricane in memory to menace the
Caribbean in early July! Fortunately, it passed St. Croix several
days before our meeting, and left very little damage. (The Altar
ellis survived the eye of the storm in the in the British West
Islands!) The meeting was held once again at the hotel on the Cay,
on that spec of land in the harbor ofChrirtiansted, St. Croix, U.
S. Virgin Islands. After the first two days of, at times,
outrageous downpour, the 71 participants from 26 coun tries began
to relax and enjoy the lectures and the lovely surroundings of the
In stitute. The primary support for the meeting was provided by the
~cientific Affairs Division of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO). The ASI was cosponsored by the U. S.
department of Energy, by the Fermi National Accelera tor Laboratory
(Fermi-lab), by the U. S. National Science Foundation, and by the
University of Rochester. In addition, the International Science
Foundation con tributed to the support of a participant from
Russia. As in the case of the previous ASIs, the scientific program
was designed for advanced graduate students and recent Ph. D.
recipients in experimental parti cle physics.
The second Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on Techniques and
Concepts of High Energy Physics was held at the Roaring Brook
Resort at Lake George, New York. As in the case of the first ASI,
our aim was to bring together a small group of promising young ex
perimenters and several outstanding senior scholars in high energy
physics in order to learn about the latest trends in the field and
develop stronger contacts among scientists from different countries
and different backgrounds. The setting at Roaring Brook was
particularly congenial and the staff, under the direction of George
Green, was both friendly and efficient. The ASI was supported
mainly through funds provided by the Scientific Affairs Division of
NATO. It was cosponsored by the U. S. Department of Energy,
Fermilab, the National Science Founda tion and the University of
Rochester. A special grant from the Oliver S. and Jennie R.
Donaldson Charitable Trust provided a valuable degree of
flexibility for supporting worthy students. The scientific program
of this ASI was, once again, designed primarily for advanced
graduate students and recent Ph.D recipients in experimental
particle physics. I believe, however, that the contents of the
present volume will prove useful to an even wider audience of
physicists."
The fourth Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on Techniques and
Concepts of High Energy Physics was held once again at the Hotel on
the Cay, in the scenic harbor of Christiansted, St. Croix, U.S.
Virgin Islands. The ASI brought together a total of 67
participants, from 17 different countries. It was a great success,
due to the dedication of the inspiring lecturers, the exceptional
student body, and, of course, the beautiful setting. The primary
support for the meeting was again provided by the Scientific
Affairs Division of NATO. The ASI was cosponsored by the U.S.
Department of Energy, by Fermilab, by the National Science
Foundation, and by the University of Rochester. A special contri
bution from the Oliver S. and Jennie R. Donaldson Charitable Trust
provided an important degree of flexibility, as well as. support
for worthy students from developing nations. As in the case of the
previous ASI's, the'scientific program was designed for advanced
graduate students and recent PhD recipients in experimental
particle physics. The present volume of lectures should complement
the material published in the first three ASI's, and prove to be of
value to a wider audience of physicists. It is a pleasure to
acknowledge the encouragement and support that I have continued to
receive from colleagues and friends in organizing this meeting. I
am indebted to the members of my Advisory Committee for their
infinite patience and excellent advice. I am grateful to my
distinguished lecturers for participating in the ASI."
This past July about sixty physicists from sixteen different
countries gathered at St. Croix in the United States Virgin Islands
for an Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on Techniques and Concepts of
High Energy Physics. The initial idea for the Institute arose one
blustery and miserable day at Fermilab during discussions about all
the wonderful summer schools that were prevalent throughout Europe
but essentially nonexistent in the United States. I felt that it
would be of great value to have an Institute that was located in a
beautiful area and that catered primarily to the hard working
experimenters who stoically suffer both the winter cold and summer
heat at Fermilab. Summer schools in our field generally provide the
very useful opportunity of meeting physicists who work along
different lines of research, as well as the opportunity of keeping
abreast of new developments. All schools tend to emphasize recent
theoretical advances and phenomenology, while technical questions
that are of great interest to experimenters are seldom discussed.
It seemed appropriate therefore to organize a summer institute that
would combine topics in accelerator design, data acquisition and
the like, with the more standard theoretical fare. This is the
general idea that prevailed in setting up the program of the
Institute at St."
For the eighth Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on Techniques and
Concepts of High-Energy Physics we returned once again to the Hotel
on the Cay on that speck of land in the harbor of Christiansted,
St. Croix, U. S. Virgin Islands. This time, the ASI brought
together a total of 73 participants, from 21 countries. The primary
support for the meeting was provided, as usual, by the Scientific
Affairs Division of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
The ASI was cosponsored by the U. S. Department of Energy, by the
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), by the U. S.
National Science Foundation, and by the University of Rochester. A
special contribution from the Oliver S. and Jennie R. Donaldson
Charitable Trust provided an important degree of flexibility, as
well as support for worthy students from developing countries. In
addition, the International Science Foundation contributed very
generously to the support of a participant from Russia. As in the
case of the previous ASls, the scientific program was designed for
advanced graduate students and recent PhD recipients in
experimental particle physics. The present volume of lectures,
although, unfortunately, short of three contributions, should
complement the material published in the first seven ASIs, and
prove to be of value to a wider audience of physicists. It is a
pleasure to acknowledge the encouragement and support that I have
continued to receive from colleagues and friends in organizing this
meeting.
The sixth Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on Techniques and Concepts
of High Energy Physics was held at the Club St. Croix, in St.
Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. The ASI brought together a total of 70
participants, from 21 different countries. Despite logistical
problems caused by hurricane Hugo, it was a very successful
meeting. Hugo's destruction did little to dampen the dedication of
the inspiring lecturers and the exceptional enthusiasm of the
student body; nevertheless, the immense damage caused to the
beautiful island was very saddening indeed. The primary support for
the meeting was again provided by the Scientific Affairs Division
of NATO. The ASI was cosponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy,
by Fermilab, by the National Science Foundation, and by the
University of Rochester. A special contribution from the Oliver S.
and Jennie R. Donaldson Charitable Trust provided an important
degree of flexibility, as well as support for worthy students from
developing countries. As in the case of the previous ASls, the
scientific program was designed for advanced graduate students and
recent PhD recipients in experimental particle physics. The present
volume of lectures should complement the material published in the
first five ASls, and prove to be of value to a wider audience of
physicists.
The third Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on Techniques and Concepts
of High Energy Physics was held at the Hotel on the Cay, in the
scenic harbor of Christiansted, St. Croix, U. S. Virgin Islands.
Christiansted was the site of the first ASI, and it was certainly a
delight to return there again. As in the previous ASI's, the aim
was to bring together a small group of promising young
experimenters and several outstanding senior scholars in
experimental and theoretical high energy physics in order to learn
about the latest developments in the field and to strengthen
contacts among scientists from different countries and different
backgrounds. The institute was both a great scientific and a great
social success; much of this was due to the beautiful setting and
to the dedication of the Hotel management of Ray Boudreau and
Hurchell Greenaway and their excellent staff. The primary support
for the meeting was once again provided by the Scientific Affairs
Division of NATO. The ASI was cosponsored by the U. S. Department
of Energy, by Fermilab, by the National Science Found ation, and by
the University of Rochester. A special contribution from the Oliver
S. and Jennie R. Donaldson Charitable Trust provided an important
degree of flexibility, as well as support for worthy students from
developing nations. As in the case of the previous ASI's, the
scientific program was designed for advanced graduate students and
recent PhD recipients in experimental particle physics."
The Proceedings of the tenth Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on Tech
niques and Concepts of High Energy Physics are dedicated to Jane
and Bob Wilson. Jane joined Bob at St. Croix for the first session
of this Institute, after Bob had stepped down as director of
Fermilab, and was scheming to build a modest charm factory in the
parking lot of Columbia University's Nevis Laboratory. Through the
years, Bob has been a great friend of the School, and much of its
success and flavor can be attributed to his guidance and support.
The 1998 meeting was held once again at the Hotel on the Cay, and,
as before, the work and the fun went on very enjoyably. We had a to
tal of 76 participants from 23 countries, with the main financial
support for the meeting provided by the Scientific Affairs Division
of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The ASI was
co-sponsored by the U. S. Department of Energy, by the Fermi
National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), by the U.S. National
Science Foundation, and by the University of Rochester. As in the
case of the previous ASIs, the scientific program was designed for
advanced graduate students and recent PhD recipients in
experimental particle physics. The present volume of lectures
should complement and update the material published (by Plenum) for
the first nine ASIs and prove to be of value to a wider audience of
physicists."

The original edition of Introduction to Nuclear and Particle
Physics was used with great success for single-semester courses on
nuclear and particle physics offered by American and Canadian
universities at the undergraduate level. It was also translated
into German, and used overseas. Being less formal but well-written,
this book is a good vehicle for learning the more intuitive rather
than formal aspects of the subject. It is therefore of value to
scientists with a minimal background in quantum mechanics, but is
sufficiently substantive to have been recommended for graduate
students interested in the fields covered in the text.In the second
edition, the material begins with an exceptionally clear
development of Rutherford scattering and, in the four following
chapters, discusses sundry phenomenological issues concerning
nuclear properties and structure, and general applications of
radioactivity and of the nuclear force. This is followed by two
chapters dealing with interactions of particles in matter, and how
these characteristics are used to detect and identify such
particles. A chapter on accelerators rounds out the experimental
aspects of the field. The final seven chapters deal with
elementary-particle phenomena, both before and after the
realization of the Standard Model. This is interspersed with
discussion of symmetries in classical physics and in the quantum
domain, bringing into full focus the issues concerning CP
violation, isotopic spin, and other symmetries. The final three
chapters are devoted to the Standard Model and to possibly new
physics beyond it, emphasizing unification of forces,
supersymmetry, and other exciting areas of current research.The
book contains several appendices on related subjects, such as
special relativity, the nature of symmetry groups, etc. There are
also many examples and problems in the text that are of value in
gauging the reader's understanding of the material.
This manual gives the solutions to all problems given in the book
by A Das and T Ferbel. The problems are discussed in full detail,
to help both the student and teacher get a better grasp of the
issues brought up in the text and in the associated problems.
