Download or read book Hep-mad '01, Proceedings Of The First Madagascar International Conference On High-energy Physics written by Stephan Narison and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2002-07-23 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents material that includes introductory reviews of astrophysics, the status of electroweak theories, Higgs searches, and precision tests of the standard model. Recent results on CP violation from CERN's NA48 experiment are discussed, along with the most recent results from the Babar and Belle experiments at the B factories at SLAC in the US and KEK in Japan. Following that are theoretical talks on heavy quark decays and non-perturbative QCD. There are also discussions on QCD results from CERN's LEP and DESY's HERA colliders. Pre-conference presentations cover applications of the field in the environmental and medical domains.
