New Director at Cornell PEOPLE New director at Cornell... MauryTigner, who two decades ago was the driving force behind the half-mile-circumfer­ ence electron accelerator at Cornell, has been named next director of Cornell's Laboratory of Nuclear Studies (LNS).Tigner will succeed Karl Berkelman, who steps down on 30 June. LNS operates the Cornell Electron Storage Ring.

Recently Sakita [1], Gursey and Radicati [2] [4] and Pais [3] [4] have proposed a generalization of Wigner supermultiplet theory [5] for the nucleus to baryons and mesons [6]. This raises the question: what is a relativistic supermultiplet theory ? In this paper we shall consider only the problem of defining the invariance group G for such a theory [7]. We denote by P the connected Poincaré group. It is the semi-direct product P = T X L where T is the translation group and L is the homo- geneous Lorentz group. CONDITION 1. - The invariance group G of a relativistic theory contains P.

  • Michel Theory of Symmetry Breaking and Gauge Theories
    Michel theory of symmetry breaking and gauge theories Giuseppe Gaeta∗ I.H.E.S., 35 Route de Chartres 91440 Bures sur Yvette (France) [email protected] Paola Morando Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Torino, Corso Duca degli Abruzzi 24, 10129 Torino (Italy) [email protected] Summary. We extend Michel’s theorem on the geometry of symmetry breaking [1] to arXiv:math-ph/0207002v1 29 Jun 2002 the case of pure gauge theories, i.e. of gauge-invariant functionals defined on the space C of connections of a principal fiber bundle. Our proof follows closely the original one by Michel, using several known results on the geometry of C. The result (and proof) is also extended to the case of gauge theories with matter fields. ∗ On leave from Dept. of Mathematics, Loughborough University, Loughborough LE11 3TU (GB) 27/1/97 Research supported by the Volkswagen Stiftung under the RiP program at Oberwolfach. Introduction In 1971, Louis Michel – motivated by the SU(3) theory of hadronic interactions – proved a remarkable theorem on symmetry breaking in theories described by a G-invariant potential (G a compact semisimple Lie group) over a finite dimensional smooth G-manifold M [1]; this result was a direct generalization of the theory he and Radicati had developed to study the geometry of the SU(3) octet, and the model-independent features of the SU(3) theory [2-4]. Essentially, Michel theorem guarantees that, under suitable conditions, there are points in M which are critical for any G-invariant potential V : M → R; moreover, these points are characterized in terms of a geometric construction which takes into account the symmetry properties of points – and subsets – of M under the G action.

    The Foundation and the Parisian years of the lab PLAN Introduction : the Ecole in Paris Louis Michel The foundation and the early lab The rebirth The sixties and the seventies How to reach the laboratory The atmosphere The plasma group The move to Palaiseau 2 The Ecole in Paris The Ecole polytechnique is a small and prestigious scientific college corresponding to the last two years of undergraduate studies. Before 1976 it was located in the campus where we are. The Ecole was not research oriented, in 1958, there was only two laboratories (experimental particle physics and ionized matter). In the 1940’s, a growing number of French students, including Louis Michel, were interested in particle physics. After the war, some of them were going to create theoretical physics in France almost from scratch. However they had first to learn the subject and become theoretical physicists. In order to do that, they mainly went to England and the United States. Louis Michel (1923-1999) After WWII and his studies at polytechnique, Louis Michel went first to Manchester (thesis in 1953), then Copenhagen and Princeton. One of the major question at that time was to bring some clarity to the first experimental results in particle physics, in particular, using as few parameters as possible. One of the main tool was to find and then use symmetries. Louis Michel was very good at that and he became a well known specialist of symmetries, symmetry breaking and more generally group theory in physics. There is a Michel’s parameter associated with the µ decay.

We seek studies that engage theory without losing touch with history and work historically without falling into uncritical positivism. FlashPoints aims for a broad audience within the humanities and the social sciences concerned with mo- ments of cultural emergence and transformation. In a Benjaminian mode, FlashPoints is interested in how literature contributes to forming new constellations of culture and history and in how such formations function critically and politically in the present.

    COLOR: FROM BARYON SPECTROSCOPY TO QCD O.W. Greenberg1 Center for Theoretical Physics Department of Physics and Astronomy University of Maryland College Park Maryland 20742-4111, U.S.A. Talk presented at the session “Thirty years of the quark model” at Baryons ’92, June 1-4, 1992, Yale University. To appear in the Proceedings. University of Maryland Preprint No. 92-241 Abstract I review the discovery of the color degree of freedom in hadronic physics, and the developments which led from that discovery to the local gauge theory of color, quantum chromodynamics. 1. DEDICATION I dedicate this talk to the memory of Feza G¨ursey, a person of great kindness and great insight, whom we miss very much at this conference. I first met Feza at arXiv:hep-ph/9301207v1 5 Jan 1993 a seminar he gave at Brandeis University in 1957. A few years later, in 1962, Feza organized a wonderful Summer School in what was then called the Robert College in Bebek, near Istanbul. The participants spent about a month in a lovely setting overlooking the Bosphorus, eating meals together, attending and giving lectures, and discussing physics at all hours. Suha G¨ursey charmed everybody with her gracious hospitality. Feza, in addition to providing his own insights, had assembled a stellar set of lecturers including Guilio Racah, Eugene Wigner, Louis Michel, Sheldon Glashow, Yoichiro Nambu and Abdus Salam. The proceedings are still worth reading.[1] 1Supported in part by the National Science Foundation. e-mail addresses: greenberg@umdhep (bitnet); umdhep::greenberg (decnet); [email protected] (internet). 2.

  • 2D Michel Reconstruction in Microboone
    2D Michel Reconstruction in MicroBooNE Kathryn Sutton∗ Columbia University, Nevis Labs, Irvington, New York y 8/6/2015 Abstract This paper describes an algorithm that can be applied to cosmic data in MicroBooNE to identify and cluster Michel electron showers and reconstruct their energy using only 2D reconstruction information. It takes into account charge and position information from the collection plane only. An accurate recon- struction of the Michel energy spectrum will be useful as a calibration method in the early stages of data collection. 1 Introduction 1.1 The Standard Model of Particle Physics The Standard Model aims to describe the elemen- tary particles responsible for all of the visible matter in the universe and its fundamental forces. Under the Standard Model there are twelve elementary particles 1 with spin 2 known as fermions, each with a corre- sponding anti-particle. These fermions fall into two main categories: quarks (up, down, charm, strange, top, bottom) and leptons (electron, electron neutrino, muon, muon neutrino, tau, tau neutrino), each of which is further divided into three generations (see Fig. 1). There are also the force carriers; gluons, W ± and Z0, and photons, which mediate the strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces respectively. 2 1 Quarks carry fractional charges (+ 3 or - 3 ) and are grouped according to flavor. They are bound Figure 1: The Standard Model of Particle Physics [1]. together to form hadrons.
