Particles And Fields Proceedings Of The X Jorge Andre Swieca Summer School

This book constitutes the proceedings of the X Jorge André Swieca Summer School — Particles and Fields. It includes topics on non-commutative geometry, constructive quantum field theory and duality in quantum field theory, as well as various subjects in high energy physics and phenomenology.

The Jorge André Swieca Summer School is a traditional school in Latin America well known for the high level of its courses and lecturers. This book contains lectures on forefront areas of high energy physics, such as collider physics, neutrino phenomenology, noncommutative field theory, string theory and branes.

This volume contains the lecture notes of the VI J A S Summer School. The topics covered are particle physics phenomenology, dynamical symmetry breaking, conformal theory.

The J. A. Swieca Summer School series is organized by the Brazilian Physics Society. The VIII school was dedicated to topics in astrophysics, chaos, nuclear structure and reactions, and to QCD in nuclear physics.
