Abstract:

Physicists uncovered a new experiment hidden in old data from the Large Hadron Collider. Using this innovative approach, the team has unlocked an entirely new way to study quantum physics.

One way physicists seek clues to unravel the mysteries of the universe is by smashing matter together and inspecting the debris. Working with an international group of nuclear and particle physicists, our team realized that hidden in the data from previous studies was a remarkable and innovative experiment. In a new paper published in Physical Review Letters, we developed a new method with our colleagues for measuring how fast a particle called the tau wobbles.

RRCAT Physicist claims that physics and cosmology are both in crisis because of wrong model of the universe

NOTE: The journal club will start with the discussion of interesting arxiv papers from the preceding week, followed by the speaker's presentation.--

Since Science 2.0 first came online, we have been excited about the Tevatron in Illinois because, statistically, by 2011 the famous Fermi experiment in Batavia,IL would have accumulated 10 inverse femtobarns of data and that means the Higgs, if it exists, would be somewhere in there.  If it could be found. 

Among the known fundamental particles of the Universe, the top quark claims the heavyweight title, with a mass 184 times that of the proton. Measuring its precise value – along with that of the Higgs boson – provides crucial information about the theoretical underpinnings of the Standard Model of particle physics. It also allows researchers to improve the precision of theoretical calculations with which to compare experimental data, better enabling them to search for new physics phenomena. ...
