The Standard Model of quarks and leptons is, at first sight, nothing but a set of {it ad hoc} rules, with no connections, and no clues to their true background. At a closer look, however, there are many inherent prophecies that point in the same direction: {it Compositeness} in terms of three stable preons.
In a model in which leptons, quarks, and the recently introduced hyperquarks are built up from two fundamental spin 1/2 preons, the standard model weak gauge bosons emerge as preon bound states. In addition, the model predicts a host of new composite
Six major frameworks have emerged attempting to describe particle physics beyond the Standard Model. Despite their different theoretical genera, these frameworks have a number of common phenomenological features and problems. While it will be possibl
In these lectures we briefly cover some of the main lines of research in particle physics beyond the Standard Model.
We discuss the transition radiation process $ u to u gamma$ at an interface of two media. The medium fulfills the dual purpose of inducing an effective neutrino-photon vertex and of modifying the photon dispersion relation. The transition radiation
We review our expectations in the last year before the LHC commissioning.
