    Laws of physics are universally valid and provide an excellent basis for international cooperation between scientists from different mentalities, traditions, religions and political systems. Basic science cannot succeed without open communication without secrets and elementary particle physics needs large installations which require also cooperation with administrations and connections...

    The standard model of fundamental interactions is based on the quantum theory of fields in particle physics and on general relativity in cosmology. It consists on a set of effective theories (the Electroweak theory, Quantum Chromodynamics and the Big Bang cosmological model) that give, with the help of a finite and fixed number of adjustable parameters, an acceptable agreement with...

    This Lecture will introduce the main concepts and features of the very large detectors which have been designed for High Energy Physics experiments and explain the enormous technological challenges which had to be met for the LHC and which have to be faced for the future projects

    This conference will describe the main modern observations and ideas relevant to the expanding universe and to the development of inhomogeneities, eventually leading to galaxy formation. The evidence for the existence of so-called dark matter in different cosmic structures will be presented and the importance of dark matter in the process of galaxy formation will be emphasized

    High Energy activity from compact stars and collapsed objects: The high energy activity near compact objects, isolated or in binary systems, will be presented. The high voltage environment of these objects and associated high energy photon or particle emission will be discussed. The mechanisms that may accelerate in the bulk matter to relativistic speeds and focus it into narrow jets...

    The hot big-bang model has changed a lot since its formulation due to both a better theoretical understanding and an increasing quantity of observational data. In this lecture, the hot big-bang model will be described. Its successes will be detailed as well as its problems. One of the most important evolutions lies in the understanding of the structure formation. In particular, the...

    This course will discuss the physics program and goals for the next projects at the high energy frontier. The Standard Model for Particle Physics has been tested to great detail over the last 20 years, and measurements are in excellent agreement with the data. But this model has its shortcomings and does not explain why the world is as it is. It is furthermore expected that at higher...

    After the latest experimental results, neutrino physics became a very exciting subject and took a very rapid expansion. Neutrino, the most elusive elementary particle has always reserved surprises to theorists and experimentalists. Its existence has been predicted by W. Pauli in 1930, at a moment where only the electron and proton were known, in order to save the energy...

    Energetic particles, traditionally called Cosmic Rays, were discovered nearly a hundred years ago, and their origin is still uncertain. Their main constituents are normal nuclei as in the standard cosmic abundances of matter; there are also electrons, positrons and anti-protons, but no anti-nuclei. Today we also have information on isotopic abundances, which show some anomalies, as...

    In recent years, measurements of the red shift of light from distant Supernova explosions, new observations of the cosmic microwave background with unprecedented precision as well as galaxy redshift surveys of hundreds of thousand of galaxies have revealed an expanding Universe almost completely filled with Dark Energy and Dark Matter. Although there are good motivations from theoretical...

    After a brief summary of the evolution of cosmological perturbation in the Friedmann universe, I will show why neutrinos are expected to leave a signature in the spectrum of CMB anisotropies and in the distribution of large scale structures. I will present current cosmological bounds on neutrino physics, based on various types of cosmological observations. Finally, I will intruduce the...

    The quest for the very fundamental mysteries of nature by exploring the smallest scales and highest energies at particle colliders requires a huge technological and intellectual effort. While many people think this is a purely intellectual exercise for some crazy super-brains without any impact on society, the spin-offs from High Energy Physics research actually has and will have a...

    In the first lecture, I will motivate the search for extra space-time symmetries and the emergence of supersymmetry. I will present some technical developments around extensions of Poincaré algebra and discuss their applications. In the second lecture, I will focus on what could stand beyond ordinary relativistic quantum field theory of point-like particles. The technical part of the...

    Semiconductor detectors for particle tracking and vertex finding have started to play an important role in High Energy Physics roughly since the LEP era. Present experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) or Tevatron would be impossible with Silicon detectors around the interaction point. This lecture gives an introduction to the topic, starting from the fundamental operating...
