Quest for the Origin of Particles and the Universe
Yasumichi Aoki, Yasumichi Aoki, Kiyoshi Hayasaka, Toru Iijima, Toshihide Maskawa, Masaharu Tanabashi, Koichi YamawakiThis proceedings contains a welcome address by T Maskawa conveying his hopes for KMI to create new revolutionary directions in the spirit of Shoichi Sakata, a great mentor of both Maskawa and Kobayashi. Invited speakers, world-leading scientists in the fields, and the young scientists at KMI contributed to this volume containing theoretical studies of strongly coupled gauge theories in view of LHC phenomenology, string theory approach and lattice studies as well as hot/dense QCD system, and also super-symmetric GUT models, etc., together with experimental studies of LHC physics, B physics, neutrino physics and the related astrophysics and cosmology.
The volume yields a unique synergy of particle physics and astrophysics, closely related to the main activity of KMI encompassing particle theory (including lattice computer simulations), particle physics experiments, cosmology, and astrophysics observations.
Readership: Graduate students, researchers and professionals in the fields of particle theory, particle experiment and astrophysics/cosmology.
