A golden age for heavy-quarkonium physics dawned a decade ago, initiated by the
confluence of exciting advances in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and an explosion of …

We review the theoretical background, experimental techniques, and phenomenology of
what is known in relativistic heavy ion physics as the Glauber model, which is used to …

ABSTRACT The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) 5-year data provide
stringent limits on deviations from the minimal, six-parameter Λ cold dark matter model. We …

The Pythia program is a standard tool for the generation of high-energy collisions,
comprising a coherent set of physics models for the evolution from a few-body hard process …

In this paper we describe Herwig++ version 2.3, a general-purpose Monte Carlo event
generator for the simulation of hard lepton-lepton, lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron …

Observations of exotic structures in the J/ψ p channel, which we refer to as charmonium-
pentaquark states, in Λ b 0→ J/ψ Kp decays are presented. The data sample corresponds to …

The second part of this review is devoted to the Higgs sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric
Standard Model. The properties of the neutral and charged Higgs bosons of the extended …

We argue that the Higgs boson of the Standard Model can lead to inflation and produce
cosmological perturbations in accordance with cosmological observations. An essential …

In this paper we describe Herwig++ version 2.2, a general-purpose Monte Carlo event
generator for the simulation of hard lepton-lepton and hadron-hadron collisions. A number of …

The T2K experiment is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. Its main goal is to
measure the last unknown lepton sector mixing angle θ13 by observing νe appearance in a …
