Tasi Lectures on Astroparticle Physics

The background for all of the topics to be discussed in these lectures is the Big bang model. The observed homogeneity and isotropy enable us to describe the overall geometry and evolution of the Universe in terms of two cosmological parameters accounting for the spatial curvature and the overall expansion (or contraction) of the Universe. These two quantities appear in the most general express...

Three Lectures on Hadron Physics

These lectures explain that comparisons between experiment and theory can expose the impact of running couplings and masses on hadron observables and thereby aid materially in charting the momentum dependence of the interaction that underlies stronginteraction dynamics. The series begins with a primer on continuum QCD, which introduces some of the basic ideas necessary in order to understand th...
