Introduction to Plasma Physics

These notes are intended to provide a brief primer in plasma physics, introducing common definitions, basic properties, and typical processes found in plasmas. These concepts are inherent in contemporary plasma-based accelerator schemes, and thus provide a foundation for the more advanced expositions that follow in this volume. No prior knowledge of plasma physics is required, but the reader is...

Introduction to B Physics

These lectures provide an introduction to various topics in heavyflavor physics. We review the theory and phenomenology of heavyquark symmetry, exclusive weak decays of B mesons, inclusive decay rates, and some rare B decays. Lectures presented at the Trieste Summer School in Particle Physics (Part II) Trieste, Italy, 21 June – 9 July, 1999 INTRODUCTION TO B PHYSICS

Introduction to Statistical Physics outside Physics

We review the possibilities and difficulties for statistical physicists if they apply their methods to biology, economics, or sociology. WARNING: I report opinions, not simulations.

Introduction to Yangian in Physics

This is an introduction to the physical pictures of Yangian symmetry. All the discussions are based on the RTT relations which have been known to be related to the Hamiltonian formulations for quantum integrable systems. The explicit calculations of Yangian associated with gl(2) are given through solving the RTT relations. It contains the Drinfeld’s Y (sl(2)), Y (sl(n)) and Heisenberg type of H...
