ISSN 0531-4283 ISBN 92-9083-114-6 Abstract The European School of High-Energy Physics is intended to give young experimental physicists an introduction to the theoretical aspects of recent advances in elementary particle physics. These proceedings contain lectures on Field Theory, Physics Beyond the Standard Model, Flavour Physics, Neutrino Physics, Collider Physics and Astrophysics, as well as reports on Heavy-Ion Physics, the Large Hadron Collider Project and Physics in JINR/Russia. Preface The 1996 European School of High-Energy Physics was held at Carry-le-Rouet (near Marseilles), France from 1 to 14 September. The 1996 School was the fourth in the new series organised on a yearly basis in collaboration between CERN and JINR, Dubna. In all, the school brought together 130 students and physicists not only from all over Europe and the CIS countries, but also from the United States, Canada, Brazil, India and Turkey, some thirty nationalities in all. The School was sponsored by CERN, the Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique (CEA), the Institut National de Physique des Particules (IN2P3-CNRS), JINR, Dubna and the Societe de Physique (SFP). Ten students from former Soviet Union countries have received financial support within the framework of the ENTAS programme of the European Community; and UNESCO has provided financial support for eight students. Local support and sponsoring has been provided by the Centre de Physique des particules, Faculty of Sciences, Luminy, and Tektronix. Our sincere thanks are due to the lecturers and discussion leaders for their active participation in the School and for making the scientific programme so stimulating. Their personal contribution in answering questions and explaining points of theory was undoubtedly appreciated by the students who in turn manifested their good spirits during two intense weeks. The major responsibility for organising the 1996 School was with the French Institut National de Physique Nucleaire et de Physique des Particules (IN2P3-CNRS) and the Departement d'Astrophysique de Physique des Particules de Physique Nucleaire et d'Instrumentation Associee (CEA-DAPNIA). The Marseilles Centre de Physique des Particules acted as local organisers. Our warmest thanks are extended to Prof. Alain Blondel, who acted as Director of the School, and to Mossadek Talby, who was responsible for the local arrangements. Together with an efficient team of colleagues and students they ensured the smooth running of the day-to-day organisation and the social programme. Our special thanks go to the professionals Caroline, Caty, Franc and SYRATU for organising intense sport activities and taking care that nobody fell off the cliffs or were left at the bottom of the Mediterranean. We are as always grateful to Susannah Tracy and Tatyana Donskova for their untiring efforts in the lengthy preparations for and the day-to-day care of the School. A special word of thanks goes to the Manager of Vacanciel La Calanque Hotel, Mrs. Dastrevigne, and to her assistants Sylvie and Florence who also acted as guides. Our thanks also go to the chef for providing an excellent selection of French food. The media coverage for the School was good. Herbert Curien, President of the CERN Council, gave an interesting evening lecture on the role of science in society, Vladimir Kadyshevsky, the Director General of JINR/Dubna, gave an overview of the scientific programme of Dubna and Chris Llewellyn Smith, CERN Director General, presented an inspiring outlook of the future possibilities of High Energy Physics. The social programme also had a special lecture on French wine, including wine tasting, organised by Paul Colas, a boat trip to the Calanques, a visit to the Beaux de Provence and a full day excursion to the Camargue with evening meal and Gypsy music. The success of the 1996 School was to a large extent due to the students themselves. Throughout the School they participated actively during the lectures and in the discussion sessions, as well as in the different sports activities and excursions. Last but not least, the poster session in which students presented their work was a great success, with many excellent presentations. Egil Lillest0l on behalf of the Organising Committee MEXT PAGE(S) left BLAI2K Discours Monsieur Lebris Premier Adjoint au maire de Carry-le-Rouet Monsieur le Maire, Pierre PENE, est gêné par une sciatique douloureuse qui l'a poussé à me demander de vous accueillir ici, au Vacanciel de Carry, en son nom et en celui de la Municipalité. Soyez certains que nous sommes très fiers d'accueillir des gens de votre niveau. Voilà en effet que pour deux semaines, grâce à vous, la douce "Calanque" de Carry se transforme en Centre européen de la recherche nucléaire de Genève, en Centre de Physique des particules de Marseille et en Joint Institute for Nuclear Research de Dubna de Russie. Et ceci sous la houlette prestigieuse de Monsieur Hubert Curien, ancien ministre de la recherche et président du Conseil du Centre européen de la recherche nucléaire. Fiers de vous accueillir nous vous disons ce qu'est notre Carry-le-Rouet qui vous accueille. Si modestes que soient les connaissances sur la préhistoire caryenne, quelques éclaircissements apparaissent avec l'arrivée conquérante des Celtes armées de fer — ce qui bouleversa vers 800 ans avant J.-C. les civilisations du cuivre et du bronze... les gréco-romains firent leur apparition avec l'extraction de pierres à bâtir... Ce sont les Romains qui appelèrent INCARUS la "positio" de Carry. C'est ainsi qu'est cité le Carry d'alors dans l'itinéraire maritime rédigé au 2e siècle après J.-C. selon la volonté de l'empereur Antoine. La racine KAR (pierre) — comme dans CARRO et COURONNE évoque les extractions de calcaire rose. Quant à l'appellation ROUET on peut penser que c'est un dérivé de ROUVRE désignant le chêne. Comme partout, le temps des pirates précéda celui des Seigneurs... puis vint le temps de la Misère : au moment de la Révolution il n'y avait ici que 18 maisons et 12 bastides et 250 personnes de tous âges. En 1900 on atteint 500 habitants... l'amélioration des liaisons routières puis la construction de la voie ferrée... et enfin la mise en valeur de toute la côte ouest de Marseille (plan Pompidou) provoquent un boum démographique... En 1968, 2500 habitants... puis dans les années 70... 3500 et enfin dans les années actuelles 5600 habitants. Maintenant la maîtrise de la démographie : le POS (plan d'occupation des sols) et le COS (coefficient d'occupation des sols). Je vous ai présenté rapidement Carry... c'est maintenant une ville coquette qui s'est transformée en ville touristique familiale... Nous ferons tout pour que ses dimensions restent humaines. Je terminerai en vous disant de revenir parmi nous soit en promeneurs... soit en touristes... Carry est véritablement heureuse de vous accueillir... la perle de la Côte Bleue. VII Welcoming Address Monsieur Lebris Premier Adjoint au maire de Carry-le-Rouet Monsieur Pierre PENE, Mayor of Carry, is hampered by a painful attack of sciatica, and asked me to welcome you here in his name, and in the name of the town council. Be sure of one thing: we are all very proud to be the hosts of such high level people. Indeed, for two weeks now, thanks to you, the sweet 'Calanque' of Carry will be turned into the European Organization for Nuclear Reseach of Geneva, the Centre de Physique des Particules de Marseille, and the Joint Institute For Nuclear Reasearch of Dubna in Russia. All that under the prestigious guidance of Monsieur Hubert Curien, former Minister of research and chairman of the Council of the European Organization for Nuclear Research of Geneva. Proud, thus, we are; but let us tell you what is this town of Carry-le-Rouet that welcomes you.

    SLAC-PUB-17390 Comparing light-front quantization with instant-time quantization Philip D. Mannheim1, Peter Lowdon2 and Stanley J. Brodsky3 1 Department of Physics, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269, USA 2CPHT, CNRS, Ecole Polytechnique, Institut Polytechnique de Paris, Route de Saclay, 91128 Palaiseau, France 3 SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Stanford University, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] (Dated: June 25 2020) In this paper we compare light-front quantization and instant-time quantization both at the level of operators and at the level of their Feynman diagram matrix elements. At the level of operators light-front quantization and instant-time quantization lead to equal light-front time commutation (or anticommutation) relations that appear to be quite different from equal instant-time commu- tation (or anticommutation) relations. Despite this we show that at unequal times instant-time and light-front commutation (or anticommutation) relations actually can be transformed into each other, with it only being the restriction to equal times that makes the commutation (or anticommu- tation) relations appear to be so different. While our results are valid for both bosons and fermions, for fermions there are subtleties associated with tip of the light cone contributions that need to be taken care of. At the level of Feynman diagrams we show for non-vacuum Feynman diagrams that the pole terms in four-dimensional light-front Feynman diagrams reproduce the widely used three-dimensional light-front on-shell Hamiltonian Fock space formulation in which the light-front energy and light-front momentum are on shell.

The books of Martinez Celaya depict a contemplative artist as he aspires to construct meaning in existence and come to terms with his own beliefs.

Nombre de ses textes y prennent place, l’ensemble s’ar- ticulant autour de deux cycles majeurs qui s’interpénètrent : « Les Enfants de la destinée » et les « Xeelees ». Aussi nous a-t-il paru pertinent, par souci de clarification, de vous faire partager cette vertigineuse chronologie, une ligne temporelle qui, outre quel- ques événements majeurs, replace dans l’ordre nouvelles et ro- mans relatant lesdits événements. On précisera enfin que les titres français des textes sont uti- lisés lorsque ces derniers ont été traduits ; les nouvelles marquées d’un « * » sont rassemblées dans le recueil inédit du cycle des « Enfants de la destinée » intitulé Resplendent ; les nouvelles marquées d’un « ** » sont rassemblées dans le recueil inédit, mais à paraître aux éditions du Bélial’, du cycle des « Xeelees » intitulé Vacuum Diagrams ; les nouvelles marquées d’un « *** » n’ont pas été reprises en recueil à ce jour.

  • Science Fiction: the Evolutionary Mythology of the Future Tom Lombardo, Ph.D
    Science Fiction: The Evolutionary Mythology of the Future Tom Lombardo, Ph.D. Center for Future Consciousness Abstract Science fiction generates holistic future consciousness. As futurist narrative, it resonates with the natural psychological disposition of giving meaning to life through stories. Science fiction encompasses the future of everything, and stimulates cosmic consciousness. Science fiction can be traced to multiple origins, one of which is ancient myth, with which, though grounded in the scientific vision of reality, it shares many features. Science fiction is mythic holistic future consciousness. Science fiction is evolutionary in that continually builds upon past ideas. The scientific theory of cosmic evolution provides the fundamental narrative framework for modern science fiction. As the evolutionary mythology of the future, science fiction facilitates the purposeful evolution of holistic future consciousness. Science Fiction as a Way of Life As a young boy growing up in the 1950s, I was drawn into the wondrous, strange, and at times frightening world of the future through the movies. At my neighborhood theatre, I watched—totally mesmerized—the classic science fiction movies, The War of the Worlds, When Worlds Collide, The Time Machine, and the best of the best, Forbidden Planet. I specifically remember, after watching The War of the Worlds, that the movie tremendously excited me; my total conscious being came alive in the cinematic experience. I was inspired to write a short story of aliens invading the Earth; I created illustrations for the story and designed costumes as well. I recruited some of my friends to play the different roles in the story. We were going to “live the future,” a future of space ships, aliens, and great battles to defend the earth.

In this regard, science fiction can be defined as a literary and narrative approach to the future, involving plots, story lines and action sequences, specific settings, dramatic resolutions, and varied and unique characters, human and otherwise.
