Kathmandu Summer School Lecture Notes – serie

This volume contains the most important lecture notes by experts from condensed matter, particle physics and cosmology and is a MUST for young researchers and graduate students.While covering frontier developments in condensed matter physics, particle physics and cosmology, this school aims to bring out their interdisciplinary nature by emphasizing certain topics such as spontaneous symmetry breaking and renormalization group through a pedagogical set of lectures. In the condensed matter area, the school covered, in the first two weeks, experimental aspects of high temperature superconductivity and its possible applications.
