The quantum vacuum and the cosmological constant problem

SE Rugh, H Zinkernagel - Studies In History and Philosophy of Science …, 2002‏ - Elsevier
The cosmological constant problem arises at the intersection between general relativity and
quantum field theory, and is regarded as a fundamental problem in modern physics. In this …

Kaon production in heavy ion reactions at intermediate energies

C Fuchs - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2006‏ - Elsevier
The article reviews the physics related to kaon and antikaon production in heavy ion
reactions at intermediate energies. Chiral dynamics predicts substantial modifications of the …
