Modern topics in theoretical nuclear physics

Theoretical Topics in B-physics*

Theoretical Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Astrophysics

Our research unit is part of an Interuniversity Attraction Poles (IAP) program, ​BriX (The Belgian Research Initiative on eXotic nuclei for atomic, nuclear and astrophysics studies), in which we collaborate with other nuclear-physics groups, both theoretical and experimental, in Belgium and abroad. Through this collaboration, there is a possibility for very motivated ULB students to realize ...

Differential and topological problems in modern theoretical physics

s of the minicourses Kenichi Konishi — Università di Pisa Advent of non-Abelian vortices Generalizing the well-known Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen vortex solution in the Abelian Higgs model to non-Abelian gauge theories, vortex solutions carrying continuous zeromodes (vortex moduli space) were constructed in the year 2003 inspired by supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theories, triggering an intense researc...

Topics in Jet Physics

We review two subjects in the theoretical study of jet production at the Tevatron collider: the uncertainties in the determination of the partonic densities inside the proton and the uncertainties in the calculation of higher-order corrections to the QCD matrix

Topics in Electroweak Physics

We briefly discuss five topics in Precision Electroweak Physics: i) the recently proposed Effective Scheme of Renormalization, ii) evidence for electroweak bosonic corrections derived from the radiative correction ∆reff , iii) an approach to estimate the scale of new physics in a hypothetical Higgs-less scenario, iv) simple and accurate formulae for s2eff , MW , Γl, and their physical applicati...
