Astrophysicists discover natural particle collider in space

This summer, particle astrophysicists from the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology, along with colleagues from France and Japan, studied a supernova remnant located about 3000 light years away and discovered what is best described a... Continue reading

Scientists place new limits on sterile neutrinos

Two Fermilab experiments have put new boundaries on a search for a possibly undiscovered type of neutrino, leaving prior measurements unexplained. Continue reading

Experiments reveal new techniques in studying quark-gluon plasma

In the past year, scientists have bulked up their toolkits with new ways to tweak and study a state of matter 100,000 times hotter than the interior of the Sun – the quark-gluon plasma. Continue reading

Taking it slow at Michigan State’s particle decelerator

The same trend has dominated throughout accelerator history – bigger and faster is better. And yet, nuclear physicists at Michigan State are trying to slow particles down. Continue reading

Proposed neutrino experiment bounces back, ready to move on

Thanks to a new phased construction plan, the proposed Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment is back on track and ready to advance to the next stage of the U.S. Department of Energy approval process. Continue reading

LHCb experiment collects record amount of data

The LHCb experiment has already surpassed the amount it collected in all of 2011 and is poised to double that amount by the end of 2012. Continue reading
