Supersymmetry is at an exciting stage of development. It extends the Standard Model of particle physics into a more powerful theory that both explains more and allows more questions to be addressed. Most important, it opens a window for studying and testing fundamental theories at the Planck scale. Experimentally we axe finally entering the intensity and energy regions where superpartners are likely to be detected, and then studied. There has been progress in understanding the remarkable physics implications of supersymmetry, including the derivation of the Higgs mechanism, the unification of...

The high energy electron?positron linear collider is expected to provide crucial clues to many of the fundamental questions of our time: What is the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking? Does a Standard Model Higgs boson exist, or does nature take the route of supersymmetry, technicolor or extra dimensions, or none of the foregoing? This invaluable book is a collection of articles written by experts on many of the most important topics which the linear collider will focus on. It is aimed primarily at graduate students but will undoubtedly be useful also to any active researcher on the...

Offers a systematic approach to knowledge engineering problems. The book gives an overview of knowledge engineering systems and environments, covering classical and recent techniques of their design and evaluation. Detailed descriptions of particular techniques and applications are also provided.

Understanding Higgs physics is necessary to complete the standard model, and to learn how to extend it and improve its foundations. This book brings together current work in the field. Some chapters emphasize theoretical questions, and some connections to other areas of physics.
