  • What else could the Higgs be?

    Updated: 2012-10-30 16:00:00
    On July 4, scientists around the world popped open champagne bottles and toasted the culmination of nearly five decades of research. They had discovered a new particle, one that looked awfully similar to the long-sought Higgs boson. The Higgs boson has for decades been the last missing piece of the Standard Model of particle physics. But even if the new particle completes the puzzle, some of its pieces still refuse to fit.

  • Truth, Sex and CERN

    Updated: 2012-10-30 05:37:00
    As is well known, both experiments at CERN, ATLAS and CMS, found a similar mass for the Higgs particle. In the beginning, we were told that this happened without each experiment knowing the results of the other.Slowly, the truth is surfacing:"Half of ATLAS is sleeping with half of CMS", explains one of the researchers.Ok, now we know how the agreement between the two experiments occurred. Calling the LHC the "Tunnel of Babylon" is apt.But what are the real results on the Higgs?

    A treasure trove of dark-matter detectors rests within the deep reaches of Italy's Apennine Mountains as part of Gran Sasso National Laboratory. The mountains shield the detectors from cosmic rays, making them highly sensitive to dark-matter particles.

    "Scientific" should means "correct", among other things. But Scientific American has now changed to "Lying American".In the newest edition (see here) it writes about preons. Preons are known not to exist since decades. But the clowns of the Nature Publishing Group do not care. Why should they stick with the truth, when lies sell more journals?

    Updated: 2012-10-25 01:00:00
    Seeking less costly, more efficient means of particle acceleration, physicists are developing new types of machines that zip particles to high energies in short distances. One promising method harnesses the power of plasma, accelerating electron bunches on the crest of plasma waves. Physicists recently discovered a way to measure the focus of such a beam, despite the fact that the plasma would melt traditional diagnostic tools.

  • Accelerators can search for signs of Planck-scale gravity

    Updated: 2012-10-15 15:30:01
    (Phys.org)—Although quantum theory can explain three of the four forces in nature, scientists currently rely on general relativity to explain the fourth force, gravity. However, no one is quite sure of how gravity works at very short distances, in particular the shortest distance of all: the Planck length, or 10-35 m. So far, the smallest distance accessible in experiments is about 10-19 m at the LHC.

  • Time dilation in four *spatial* dimensions

    Updated: 2012-10-15 11:11:16
    TweetWe have shown throughout the Imagineer’s Chronicles and its companion book "The Reality of the Fourth *Spatial* Dimension" there would many theoretical advantages to defining the universe in terms of four *spatial* dimensions instead of four dimensional space-time. One of them is that it would give explanation of why time is dilated in bodies that [...]

  • A summer of (physics) code

    Updated: 2012-10-15 06:00:00
    Anyone in the world with a computer can contribute to research at CERN. Through the LHC@Home project, volunteers can offer up spare computing power to simulate and process collisions happening inside the Large Hadron Collider. CERN recently improved the program with a new feature that helps scientists monitor the system that distributes work among volunteers’ computers. But the new feature is not the work of a CERN employee; it is the work of a college undergraduate who had the chance to work with CERN through the 2012 Google Summer of Code.

    Updated: 2012-10-11 06:00:00
    Particle detectors are the eyes of physicists, peering closely into particle events to help us understand the basic laws of nature. To develop the kind of sight needed to view the complex particle events of future experiments, researchers are transforming detection technology by developing new, intelligent detectors. They are pushing past the limits of two-dimensional chips, the current technology, by adding to them another dimension. The three-dimensional integrated chip, or 3DIC, will be key for future detectors.
