Lattice QCD Calculations Disprove Anomaly In Muon Gyromagnetic Ratio

A new long article which appeared on the arXiv preprint repository last week is sending ripples around the world of particle physics phenomenology, as its main result -if proven correct- will completely wipe off the table the one and only long-standing... Continue reading

Bronowski, un senso del futuro

Quando leggo un libro voglio sempre imparare qualcosa. Lo sottolineo, prendo appunti, penso sulle frasi scritte e il loro significato. In questo caso ho esattamente la stessa idea di scienza di Jacob Bronowski, quindi in qualche modo ho imparato poco, … Continua a leggere Continue reading

Nessuno sembra però aver pensato, nell’anno del coronavirus, che uno dei modi migliori per limitare il contaggio potrebbe essere eliminare i pagamenti … Continua a leggere Continue reading

Optimizing The Geometry Of A Muon-Electron Scattering Experiment

Tomorrow morning the Cornell arXiv will publish the preprint of a long scientific article, the result of 4.5 months of painstaking work by yours truly. So I thought I would give you a preview of its contents. Of course, it will take more than a single ... Continue reading

The Plot Of The Week – Narrowing CP Violation Down

The ATLAS Collaboration has released last week the results of a careful analysis of a large dataset of proton-proton collisions acquired during Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider. This is a measurement of CP violation effects in the system of B hadron... Continue reading
