It gathered a number of specialists of all existing experiments worldwide, as well as a few theorists Achievements This meeting was very successful, as it did cover in depth most aspects of the upcoming diffraction experiments at the LHC, from the measurement of luminosity by ATLAS (ALFA, LUCID, ZDC), to the near-future measurements of TOTEM, and to the extensions of CMS (FP420, HPS220) to measure central production, via photon or pomeron exchange. The potentials of ALICE and LHCb were also explained, as well as the latest results from HERA and CDF. The workshop also enabled the interaction of theorists with experimentalists from HERA (L. Schoeffel), RHIC (W. Guryn), ATLAS (C. Royon), CMS (K. Piotrkovsky) and ALICE (R. Schicker) to understand what kind of theoretical study would be useful for these experiments, as well as of course the interaction amongst theorists about recent theoretical predictions.

I 227431 Reporting Period PR1 UserProject Acronym 02AART09 Title Sign Problems and Complex Actions Continuation N M a i n F i e l d Physics Scientific Field Specific discipline Nuclear physics Objectives The understanding of strongly interacting matter and a variety of strongly correlated materials requires a nonperturbative analysis employing numerical simulations. In the conventional formulations of these problems, introduction of a chemical potential makes the action complex and standard Monte Carlo methods to evaluate the path integral through importance sampling fail (the sign problem). Fortunately, in recent years radical new approaches have been developed which can handle the sign problem or even eliminate it altogether. These methods are based on rewriting the partition function in a dual set of variables, similar to worldline representations, or on stochastic quantization and complex Langevin dynamics. The aim of this workshop was to learn about sign problems that arise in lattice field theory, understand what has been done in recent years and explore what can be done in the future. Achievements The workshop had the character of an interdisciplinary yet technical meeting, giving participants the opportunity to learn developments outside their own field of expertise. With two moderated discussion sessions each day, there was ample time for in depth debate. Two days were spent on the most promising directions to tackle the sign problem: complex Langevin dynamics and worldline methods. Two important insights have emerged from this conference: (1) In the context of complex Langevin dynamics, the possible relevance of stochastic gauge fixing was emphasized by several participants, (2) In the context of world line formulations, the sign problem in QCD with a finite baryon density may be alleviated through a partial averaging over gauge field configurations especially in relation to the Polyakov loop fluctuations.

These different many-body systems, in spite of their specific features, have generic properties which are common to all weakly bound/unbound systems close to the threshold. These include: properties of the exceptional points and related topological phases, crossing and avoided crossing of resonance energies, redistribution of widths, symmetry-breaking effects in different regimes of resonance energies, redistribution of widths, symmetry-breaking effects in different regimes of resonances densities, S-matrix fluctuations, width distributions, etc.. The objective of this interdisciplinary workshop thus has been to bring together experts and students working on different many-body OQS such as the weakly bound/unbound (exotic) atomic nuclei, the atoms/molecules in external laser fields, the open quantum dots, the open microwave cavities, the crystal/nanotubes in laser fields, etc., to discuss the status of most urgent topics two and half years after the 2007 ECT* Workshop on “Many-Body Open Quantum Systems”. Achievements The workshop did not only have the character of an interdisciplinary meeting but has shown a sustained growth and dynamics of the wide field of open quantum systems. The range of topics discussed within five days ranged from the physics of ultra cold gases and Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC), the laser-BEC analogy, entanglement, quantum networks and random unitary interactions to the physics of nuclei. The latter clearly constituted the major part of the workshop and has shown how the growing interest into the theory of OQS is associated with experimental efforts in producing weakly bound/unbound nuclei close to the particle drip-lines

Benedict XVI in the garden of the Basilica di Santa Maria degli angeli e dei Martiri with the statue of “Galilei Divine Man” donated to the Basilica by CCaSt of Beijing. he great Galileo said that God wrote the book of nature in the form of the language of mathematics. He was convinced that God has given us two tbooks: the book of Sacred Scripture and the book of nature. and the lan - guage of nature – this was his conviction – is mathematics, so it is a language of God, a language of the Creator. Encounter of His Holiness Benedict XVI with the Youth , St Peter’s Square, thursday, 6 april 2006. n the last century, man certainly made more progress – if not always in his knowledge of himself and of God, then certainly in his knowledge of the macro- Iand microcosms – than in the entire previous history of humanity. ... Scientists do not create the world; they learn about it and attempt to imitate it, following the laws and intelligibility that nature manifests to us. the scientist’s experience as a human being is therefore that of perceiving a constant, a law, a logos that he has not created but that he has instead observed: in fact, it leads us to admit the existence of an all-powerful Reason, which is other than that of man, and which sustains the world.

The operation, involving very delicate and high-precision procedures performed by a team of scientists, engineers and technicians, was recently completed. The 19 towers that make up the detector, consisting of 988 tellurium oxide crystals and weighing almost 750 kg, are now all suspended in the coldest point of the experiment's cryostat. The collaboration is currently preparing to make the finishing touches to the system. Then, in the coming months, the cryostat will be closed, the system will be cooled and scientific operations will start. CUORE is an experiment designed to study the properties of neutrinos and, specifically, it will look for a rare process called neutrinoless double beta decay.

A Thesis presented for the degree of Doctor of Sciences Center for Physics of Ultra-Relativistic Nuclear Collisions Nuclear Physics Institute Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic Reˇz/ˇ Prague, Czech Republic July 2009 ii High energy nuclear physics and multiparticle dynamics Michal Sumbera,ˇ CSc. Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Sciences July 2009 Abstract In this thesis selected results from four heavy ion experiments: TAPS at GSI SIS, WA98 and CERES at CERN SPS and STAR at BNL RHIC are reviewed. In addition to this physics capabilities of newly build ALICE experiment at CERN LHC and results of phenomenological analysis of multiparticle production in high-energy hadron-hadron collisions are presented. Enormous c.m.s. energy region covered { from 2.3 GeV to 5.4 TeV per nucleon-nucleon pair { allows me to discuss in a unified way several im- portant phenomena characterizing novel trends in high energy nuclear physics: elliptic flow, sub-threshold particle production, thermalization, search for the disoriented chi- ral condensate and discovery of a new state of matter created in high-energy nuclear collisions. iv Declaration The work presented in this thesis is based in part on research carried out within large multi-national collaborations: ALICE, NA45/CERES and WA98 at CERN.
