Last week I got to the part of my course in Subnuclear Physics for Statisticians (yes, there is such a course at the Department of Statistical Sciences in Padova, and I have been giving it since its inception 6 years ago!) where I discuss CP violation ... Continue reading
And The USERN Prize Winners For 2024 Are….
USERN (Universal Scientific Education and Research Network, https://usern.org) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that supports interdisciplinary science across borders. Founded in 2015 by a distinguished Iranian Immunologist, Prof. Nima Re... Continue reading
Flying Drones With Particle Detectors
Nowadays we study the Universe using a number of probes and techniques. Over the course of the past 100 years we moved from barely using optical telescopes, that give us access to the flux of visible photons from galaxies, supernovae, and other objects... Continue reading
Starship manda in orbita la competizione
Con i due lanci di Hera ed Europa Clipper e il successo del test del nuovo lanciatore Starship, il divario fra SpaceX e la concorrenza si fa sempre più ampio. Ne parla l’astrofisica Patrizia Caraveo in questo commento pubblicato la settimana scorsa sul Sole24Ore, che riprendiamo qui con il suo consenso Continue reading
Some Notes On The Utility Function Of Fundamental Science Experiments
Earlier this year I mentioned here that I would be writing an article on how the utility function of experiments in fundamental science could be specified, as an enabling step toward the formalization of a co-design optimization problem. Now, as the de... Continue reading
L’anno dell’intelligenza artificiale
I premi Nobel per la fisica e per la chimica assegnati nel 2024 hanno una matrice comune: l’intelligenza artificiale. E premiano anche la capacità – molto umana – di collegare discipline sostanzialmente diverse. Vi proponiamo una riflessione degli astrofisici dell’Inaf di Arcetri Francesco Belfiore e Germano Sacco sul riconoscimento più atteso dell’anno Continue reading
Understanding Expected Limits, Observed Limits, Exclusion Regions In Particle Physics Graphs
I recently got engaged in a conversation with a famous retired mathematician / cosmologist about the phenomenology of Higgs bosons in the Standard Model of particle physics, and very soon we ended up discussing a graph produced by the CMS collaboration... Continue reading
Establishing Benchmarks For Use Of AI In Fundamental Science: Two Proposals To Move Forward
These days I am in the middle of a collaborative effort to write a roadmap for the organization of infrastructures and methods for applications of Artificial Intelligence in fundamental science research. In so doing I wrote a paragraph concerning bench... Continue reading
