Book cover of Escape from Leipzig
by Harald Fritzsch, K Heusch
Language: English
Release Date: February 1, 2008

With a foreword written by G *#x0027;t Hooft In the 1960s, Leipzig was the center of resistance in East Germany. Harald Fritzsch, then a physics student, contemplated escape. But before he left, he wanted to demonstrate to the government that they had gone too far when they destroyed St. Paul's...

New Physics at the Large Hadron Collider

Proceedings of the Conference

by Harald Fritzsch
Language: English
Release Date: October 27, 2016

The Standard Theory of Particle Physics describes successfully the observed strong and electroweak interactions, but it is not a final theory of physics, since many aspects are not understood: (1) How can gravity be introduced in the Standard Theory? (2) How can we understand the observed masses of...

The Fundamental Constants

A Mystery of Physics

by Harald Fritzsch, Gregory Stodolsky
Language: English
Release Date: March 2, 2009

The speed of light, the fine structure constant, and Newton's constant of gravity — these are just three among the many physical constants that define our picture of the world. Where do they come from? Are they constant in time and across space? In this book, physicist and author Harald Fritzsch...
Book cover of 50 Years of Quarks
by Harald Fritzsch, Murray Gell-Mann
Language: English
Release Date: March 11, 2015

Today it is known that the atomic nuclei are composed of smaller constituents, the quarks. A quark is always bound with two other quarks, forming a baryon or with an antiquark, forming a meson. The quark model was first postulated in 1964 by Murray Gell-Mann — who coined the name “quark” from...

Book cover of Quantum Field Theory
by Harald Fritzsch
Language: English
Release Date: March 9, 2017

The matter in our universe is composed of electrons and quarks. The dynamics of electrons and quarks is described by the Standard Model of particle physics, which is based on quantum field theories. The general framework of quantum field theories is described in this book. After the classical mechanics...

Flavor Mixing of Leptons and Neutrino Oscillations

by Harald Fritzsch
Language: English
Release Date: August 28, 2015

Since the discovery of neutrino oscillations neutrino physics has become an interesting field of research in physics. They imply that neutrino must have a small mass and that the neutrinos, coupled to the charged leptons, are mixtures of the mass eigenstates, analogous to the flavor mixing of the...
